In most cases the races are back to back, so entering both isn't an option either. Any suggestions?
If these are fairly short criteriums, then no reason not to do 2. Pin the first race's number on top of the later race, then just remove the number after the first race. Double the experience and workout. In a road race, you have to pick one.
