27 years old, race weight 168 lbs, normal weight 172ish, 5'-11" height, below is w/kg chart. I started racing this season in April and have won 5 races so far, top 3 in all races but 5, top 10 in all rest but 1 (out of 14). I raced with Cat 1s and domestic pros a few weeks ago in an age group hilly/mountainous RR and found my limiter was my weight meant I was going in the red every climb where the climbers were just doing threshold and after 35 miles they attacked and I was dropped. I knew this coming in, as I'm about 20+ lbs overweight for a mountainous RR but wanted to see how I'd do anyway.
I think I know my rider type but as I'm new to riding with power & racing (both within the past year), I'm not 100% sure I know how to interpret my power chart. Appreciate any insights, and training directions I should go in (should I train my limiters or should I focus on my strengths so as to make them very strong?) Currently Cat 4, one race win away from Cat 3, goal is Cat 1 by 2021-2.
