This advice applies to mtb racing as well.
Haha when I try my first ever mtb race this year, I'll have to remember these words of wisdom.

This course caters to power guys not light weights fwiw. Do normal everyday pace rides until a month before. Then teo days a week do some intervals on a mild hill. 3 sets 5 reps of 1 minute on 30 sec off with 5 min rest in between sets. This is all u need.Here is the double edged sword, I can run the 45 year old Cat 3 race, but have to race against guys that are light and fast, Im 225lbs. I think trying to keep the pace of a 155lb guy regardless of age would kill me. Then I could be in a class with a 225lb 20 year old who I also cant keep up with...What to do, what to do...
At mayhem I would personally run a 34/16-17.I’m racing SS what is the recommendation for gears? I normally run 32-20 but thinking I’ll be over spinning.

Thanks I’ll probably switch over to 32-18, anything smaller might be too stout for my old legs.
It's honestly completely flat. There's 1 little Hill that will hurt, but I'd go down to at least 32/17. Lots of fireroad
This is a really good way to prep for race season, they are basically training races.Ok thanks I’ll start training on my hills with the 18 and consider a 17/16 for race day.
Listen to @pooriggy . He holds the bottle of wisdom in his back pocket...This is a really good way to prep for race season, they are basically training races.
