congratulations on your first crit. unfortunately (for the woman seeking upgrade points), points are not available unless there are at least 10 women starting the race.

If you were cornering faster than the other racers, it's too bad you didn't feel confident enough to sit up front and pick the line. that would eliminate the surges that caused you to eventually drop.

and congratulations on your new team. there are so many benefits to riding with a team (including the kit).
