A few of the races I want to do this year have a vets 50+/women option and a 4th cat option too. I've just had a long conversation with a race organiser about what option I should go for... When I did a vets 50+/ women's RR last year, I was up against cat 1 (claire thomas) and had no chance of keeping up (I was 30mins off the back!) Whereas when I'm up against 4th cat, its much more of a race for me, not just instantly spat out of the back.
So, should I go for the 4th cat one and maybe end up being the only woman in that race or accept getting my arse handed to me on a plate and go for the vets/women option?
