LOTOJA or Leadville on pavement

Looks like LOTOJA is taking a page from the Leadville book and doing race registration entry preference based on the number of times you've entered the race. They also changed the Masters to Cat 1-3 only which will means they should end up with only 1 start pack for each Master group. It also means that I'll probably bite the bullet, buy a license, and race Cat 4. I'm not sure about the wisdom of letting the "just for fun" group go out before or right after the Cat 1-2-3 group and before the rest of the Cat riders. More reason to consider Seattle to Portland next year.
