That is the point. When you are looking at your records you are generally wanting the power over the time period to be flat. The nature of a crit (at least this type of course is that there is a lot of on/off). So if you are sprinting up a short hill and avg 600 watts for 30 seconds and then do 200 watts down the back side it gives you an average of 400 for the time period. Power curves (at least as I use them) help me to know how long I can hold a certain wattage. So if I want to attack or try to bridge or even a short TT I know how long I can hold a wattage. This crit data is not reflective of my power (my real power is much lower than this for everything from 2-20 minutes). Here is what the file looks like unless the PT is malfunctioning from the previous day's icy time trial I assume it is accurate.
