This does happen and when it does, it feels good. Congrats!

Many of the Sport level women that I race with will beat 25%-50%+ of the the Sport men's field during mountain bike races. While many of the men (who start the race many minutes earlier than the women) who get passed are gracious, there are a select few who are a little less nice about it. They won't give you a pass or they grumble at you. So it's nice to floor it and leave those men behind! That will teach them some humility!

Congrats and way to keep those male egos in check.
