Great report. I made pretty much all the same mistakes you did, maybe with the exception of #3 thanks to doing a few of the local races here. You do need to change your one word summary though, because you were not DFL.

I have no idea whats up with the results. Like you said, Captain Cheats-a-lot who just decided to re-integrate himself with the pack after getting dropped and lapped placed with main field and several guys from "le autobus" that you dropped in your in TT effort (including me) placed ahead of you. I'm also sure that I crossed the line before at least one of the other riders listed ahead of me and I'm pretty sure about a couple of others. It almost seems like we were just sort of randomly given times. The photo-finish equipment is great for capturing results in a pack sprint, but not so great for just about everything else. Chip timing would've solved a lot of those problems.

I guess I'll just be happy that I have a time listed and not a DNF. You, on the other hand, got royally screwed.
