I do almost the same thing with some of my automated running style metrics.

I look at exactly 4 races, I throw out the worst one, use the remaining 3, and weight them more towards the recent races. Since some of my metrics are automated, I'm not going to try to code for every possible excuse for a terrible performance. Tossing the worst one helps. When I actually handicap I'm aware of those kinds of things and can make small mental adjustments.
