Hi, I was wondering what peoples thoughts were regarding 'training' crits. Here in Utah we have the opportunity to attend weekly crits on tues and wed. My question is whether those are a better use of time or am I better off doing intervals on my own. I have been training this year since November with usually one or two hard sessions a week and a couple tempo/steady state days. I feel like I'm ready for more intensity but don't want to over-do it. On the other hand though I'm a cat3; its only my 2nd season and I still have tons to learn about riding in an unorganized pack,conserving energy etc. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. One other note; If I have a real race on saturday I will probably skip the crits in favor of climbing repeats(my weakness) but if no saturday race I may do the 2 weekly crits and save the hills and tempo for the weekend.Good idea?And no I still haven't bought a power meter..YET
