Second week update: the Conti Sprinters at 140psi were so-so much more stable. I felt a lot better and could hold my line easier. Still need a lot of practice.
There were 10 Cat 5 riders instead of 5, so the racing was harder but it was good to get practice moving around in a bigger group. Didn't get eliminated on my first lap in the miss and out this time
The scratch didn't go so great, and I tried like hell in the tempo but got dropped off the back. It's hella hard to get back on the wheel and there we no letting up in that race. Met another Cat 5 newbie who was also just starting.
End of the night the 1/2s did a madison which was great to watch.
I need to work in more sprints/intervals in my road riding for sure to try to get the power to stick with the pack, but it's still very fast and very fun
