Hi there, I am filling in my calendar for next year’s XCO season. It is quite a short season with 6 races over 10 weeks. I am wondering how to assign A and B races in this situation…would it make most sense to make my A event the first or last race, or somewhere in the middle? The season begins in May and I will begin training on Sept 1st.
I will be doin the low volume masters plan supplemented with 2 days of unstructured riding at weekends. Any advice appreciated!
Hey @XCO_mtb,
Welcome to the forum! 
Good question here! I’d say if there are any particular races that are more important to you than others, I’d make them your A races. Just remember that A races need to be at least 8 weeks apart.
Otherwise, if you aren’t really going to prioritize your performance in any specific races, I’d say it’s probably best to put that A race towards the end of the season.
Also, don’t forget that you can bake those unstructured rides into your training plan now with the Solo/Group Rides feature! Take a look at the support article below if you’re interested.
