How do you use a PM in the actual race?
What does the PM tell you that makes you change how you would ride without one?
If my perceived effort is off, I want to know. If I'm at 400W, that's fine, I can probably sustain that for 5+ minutes. If I'm at 550W, I need to get it down or I'm going to incinerate. It's nothing more than calibrating perception with a few glances, at least for me. The rest of the time, I'm looking at where I'm going and who I'm following. This works for crits.
