I think we gals are all different the way we respond to our periods. It is impossible not to race on yours - at least, I always found that it was. I have found with me, that the day before my period and sometimes the first day of I am absolutely ripping strong and then the second day, I feel slow and sluggish. The ripping strong feeling is really wonderful! But, this reactions are not always the same every month so it was impossible to tell what is going to happen each month. All I can tell you is play it by ear and hope for the best!

One thing you should keep an eye on is that you might be feeling anemic so if you are training and racing hard near your period, make sure you are taking iron regularly so as to minimize any weakness due to anemia.
