You won't DFL and will still have people to be competitive with in cat 3.
1/2/3 will be depressing and the top guys will yell at you.
I'm officially in the 3's. I'll line up at the back, pick the most out-of-shape looking guy and try to hold his wheel. Hoping to get lapped by as few of the women as possible...
I had never even really considered the 1/2/3 race. Not only would it be disrespectful to those guys, I'd probably rather be dead than try to hang on for an hour.
