It won't keep you from being competitive. 52 x14 at 100 rpm is 30 mph. Even in a very fast crit, a cadence in the 100-110 range will keep in you in the low to mid 30's. And sprinting in the 120-140 rpm range, you've got enough gear for any sprint finish you're going to be in.
The lower gears will actully force you to be a better rider.
