New to Crits. Dork triathlete here. Still working on my 10 finishes to get out of CAT 5 land. Season mostly over.
Based on everything I've done this year my TP graph shows the same trend no matter how you cut the data (1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks):
5 sec power - CAT 5
1 min power - CAT 5
5 min power - CAT 2/CAT 3
20 min power - CAT 4
60 min power - CAT 4
I'm not great on hills (limited peak power) and other than one nice sprint this year for a podium spot I'm getting toasted on the finally turn for the last 30 second sprint.
On a somewhat unrelated note, what power band is best for road races?
Edit: Fixed power segments.
