What Category do you race? Are your plans to stay in that Category or do you want to move up/down?
Maybe I missed it, but did you answer your own question yet?
As for me: started racing last year, went from 4->3 in 18 races this season, got my first points in the 3's after about eight races. So far I seem to get more points out of crits than road races, but I think that's just because I'm good at cornering and taking risks. A decent sprint helps.
Before I started racing I thought I was a climber, but that doesn't seem to be the case - all of my points have come out of field sprints, one thing I've learned so far is that you can't decide what type of racer you are based on your physical build. As in, not all smallish guys are climbers, and not all 'big dudes' are sprinters.
Definitely would like to get to the 2's, but not in a rush.
