Crits and power records

I raced my first crit with a power meter this weekend and am not sure what to do with the data. This was a 1km course with six turns and a hill. It was very technical and showed me how much I have to learn about crit racing and bike handling. My normalized power for the 25 min crit was 439 watts with an average of 415. This destroyed pretty much every power record I have except for 30s and 1min. What should I do with this data? Should I just delete it from WKO+? I did learn some things from the data - primarily that I wasted a lot of effort by not being smooth in the first half of the race. The second half of the race had an average normalized power of 52watts less than the first half with a faster speed and the second half contained my attack lap as well. What does everyone else do with the crit data from their power meter?

Thanks
