4th Place is Awesome!

Last fall at LOTOJA, i thought i finished 2nd place, but 2 guys got off the front of our group that we didn't know about, so i ended up 4th. This started a chain reaction for my placement for the road racing season.

One spot off the podium.

LOTOJA '08 - 4th
Hell of the North - 4th
East canyon-we are not counting this race.
Antelope Island - 4th- but i was bumped to 8th
state crit - 4th (2 guys got off the front that we didn't know about and were lost among the lappers so i thought i was 2nd and really placed 4th... again)
Sugarhouse crit - i raced this twice. Once in the cat 4's and once in the masters 35+b's. I placed 4th in both races.

I can't complain about 4th place, because it is still better than i did most of last year, but a podium finish would be cool one of these days.
Here is a picture of me after one of the Sugarhouse races crying.
It's ok, if you look in the background, i think the Robot is crying with me.
