Bootsie,

I have no problem how you raced the scratch race in the CD Champs. 

Also, I didn't know until now that the first race was not for points.


What I didn't like was being pitched against elite men especially the second time when it was obvious that all the masters competitors apart from you were just about guaranteed to have to drop out before halfway, just like what happened in the first race.

How many minutes would it have taken to run a 15 lap masters only race?  You would have still won it, you would have raced it at a pace that suited the rest of us and the rest of us could have fougnt it out for the minor points.

A five kilometre senior womens race on a 250m track takes about 7-8 minutes.  A 15 lap race on a 200m track is only 3km so this should have added less than 5 minutes to the program.
