Last crit race of a so-so season for me. Az State Championships. Course was 0.9 miles looked like a "b".
Cat 4's Friday evening 40min . Didn't have the legs to match all of the accelerations especially out of the 180. Stuck behind crash at 15 min could not get back on. Caught and pulled at 30min. finished 37/43.
Masters 50-54 Sunday morning 35 min. Everyone 50+ raced together and groups scored seperately. 40 or more racers altogether. Much better legs. Stayed with lead group for 25min then got popped on the 180 again. Finished full race on same lap as winners. 10/14or15 for age group.
On a positive note, my NP for last race was 20W higher than race a month ago. So I do feel fitness/power has been improved. Hopefully with a good year(read stay health) I can make the improvements I need to be able to stay in races for the duration.
