Here are my updated 2014 USA Cycling (USAC) national rankings for Category 4 Time Trial competitors. I have completed all of the races for this season that report their results to the USAC national rankings database. The first ranking in each category is from January 1, 2014. The second ranking, in bold, is as of August 19, 2014. Note the substantial increase in the number of competitors in each age category over last season.
- Rank in State: 9 of 26 (34.62%); 11 of 148 (7.43%)
- Rank in Riding Age: 3 of 7 (42.86%); 3 of 17 (17.65%)
- Rank in 5 Year Age Group: 6 of 26 (22.22%); 8 of 71 (11.27%)
- Rank in 10 Year Age Group: 21 of 92 (17.81%); 29 of 210 (13.81%)
- Overall Rank: 113 of 924 (12.23%); 167 of 3,621 (4.61%)
I have also been watching the following ranking closely over the course of the season to determine if I have any chance to compete for a national masters time trial championship: Rank in 5 Year Age Group (against all Categories): 15 of 76 (19.73%); 18 of 185 (9.7%). Not this year.
