We didn't get combined with the men, we were split into a cat 1/2/3 group and a cat 4 group for the road race and did different distances, then re-combined for the time trial, criterium, and omnium results. For omnium points, our placings started at 4th for the road race because there were only 3 in the cat 1/2/3 group. Yeah, it's pretty weird.
I complained to the race official, but he prettymuch told me to quit *****ing and get over it.
