Regret of failed race move, how to learn and move on?

Well said. For some, 4/5 is “just passing through”, and for others, cat 3 or 4 might be the peak. Again, the level of difference in how much anyone cares about a USA Crit series win vs a 4/5 crit is pretty marginal. Do I think there’s a difference? Of course, but I’d be stoked with the 4/5 win (if that was my cat) or winning the town line sprint.
