and i have a touch of mid-season burnout having raced almost continuously since January
If you're getting points, it means you're doing something right! I suggest racing as much as possible, after taking a little break if you're feeling burnt out.
I can feel the legs now after racing since January too, but a week "off" (~4 hours, only one race) helped a ton for me.
