it's a half mile course with 6 turns. I'm a cat 3, and I'm fine with C and B crit speeds on this course. The A crit speeds are much higher, and I'm uncomfortable turning at those speeds. For you experienced guys, it's easy and normal. For me, it's tough. I did better last night. For example, once I turned acutely and fast enough that my show scraped the pavement (must have been pedaling through that one). One junior racer in the A crit last night had a pedal strike and dumped it on the concrete. I try to look at the apex of the turn.
