I appreciated how long the p/1/2/3 races were. It was great to get an hour of intervals and speed work in the 3/4s and then follow it up with an even harder 1:30 in the 1/2/3s. I was almost always left empty in the sprint at the end but it did not matter, I was there to twist the knife and it meant I didn't have to do as much solo pedaling after the racing was finished for the day. I think it helped lay the foundation for what was a fairly good season for me.
