It looks like they decided that the cap between Elite and Fitness would be 30km/hr, so no one was bumped up. It looks like a pretty even matchup in the rankings. If they went with the 28km/hr average speed, that means that the top five fitness teams would have been bumped up to Elite. I think this would have been a bit hard to put the dividing line there given the fact that the sixth place team actually finished with the same amount of laps as the 5th place team.

It looks like the gaps between all of us at the top of the fitness category was close enough to keep us all together. There was a definite gap between us at the top of the Fitness division and the three Elite Teams. They were all well over 30km/hr and were in the 170's in terms of number of laps. It looks like the Rabid Lap Dogs had a nice comfortable cushion of about a lap and a half on our closest competition at the end of the day. It appears they did not count the lap times on the evening's 4.3 course, or else they were somehow adjusted.

I'm happy that I was able to hold my own among my team-mates. It appears we were mostely pretty even in terms of our abilities. Benoit was obviously the fastest lap time seen above (it was our first lap).

This gives us a nice basis and target to beat next year. I'm going to set a personal goal of being able to hold a 30km/hr speed on my laps for as long as possible in the event next year, which would mean sub 9 minute laps on average (on the full course).

Hopefully as a team we will be able to beat 157 laps total.
