Whip it out
OK, random topic. Biggest number ever. No normalized this or functional that or estimated whatever. Just the biggest number you've seen (that wasn't an error). Could be heart rate, speed, watts, RPM, whatever. Just some number that will make me feel bad about myself and consider another sport. I'll start.
1130W for 5 seconds (yeah, it's small but its mine) and I hit 51mph once and almost peed myself. Funny thing is I wasn't scared until I looked at the computer...
Tawk amungst yaselves.

1,252 watts for 5 sec. @ 41 mph. (but I weigh 79.9kg. so this isn't all that impressive) 
HR: 203 bpm during a 1-minute attempt last week.

213 beats per minute. According to some "experts" my heart should be 7 years old.

The "preditor countdown" display on my polar cs100, when ever the temp dropped below 40. Not sorry I lost that piece of turd.

Hmmm... Not sure if that's good or bad...
I paid $203 for a pair of Sidi Ero 2s.

1773W peak during a 1710W, 3sec effort. Just after I got my PT to see what numbers I could make come up.

interesting fact about 10 to the power of a googol, a.k.a googolplex.
This number is so large that there is not enough space in the known universe to print such a number in 1 point font, and that if one were to write it out at two characters a second it would take orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe!

. And I owe this one to a couple teammates who did an excellent job leading out the last lap. They kept the pace over 30mph and kept the front of the pack in a nice, single file line all the way to the finish.
