Hey - going slower means you are saving some for later.

Not blowing up in the first lap means you won't blow up on the last lap.

Blow early or take it easy and negative split that shit as you pass buckets of douche bags who start with faster guys than they should and hold speeds higher than they can for too long.

Attitude is everything. If you start in the

Hey Plum, I guessing Marty could have beat you from a start in the bleacher seats w/ two broken legs and a blind fold! If you spent less time pinging yourself and blogging and more time riding your bike you just might be able to claw your way up to a difficult top 25 and a coveted verge point in the 3's. But until then I would recommend racing in the wmn's 3/4 field! As for your category

Point 1: Cross is meant to be fun. If you aren't having fun, stop doing it.
Point 2: Of course it makes sense for the people who are dedicating more time and energy, and earning better results to have priority over those that aren't. Thats racing, get used to it. Take a look at professional cycling and all the advantages they have over the weekend warrior. They earned it, just like

When you're stuck at the tail end of a never-ending field, progressively slowed by events in front of you, staging sure seems pretty important. Like here and

Plum, you are DRASTICALLY overvaluing start position here. When you stage by verge/crossresults, you're basically staging by race predictor order, right? So when the results come out and they are very closely correlated with the race predictor (makes sense, right?) they'll also be closely correlated with staging.

This doesn't mean that staging causes good results any more
