Are you way more in shape than you were this time last year? So do you plan on beating your ranking?  Think again.  There are nearly double the number of competitors this year, region for region.
For the average athlete, you will probably rank lower than you did last year.  Just remember you are beating out a bunch more people this time!

The number of competitors has nearly doubled in every single region.  There has notably been incredible growth in the North East, going from 2504 to 6640, over 2.5 times growth!
