Did another test today, but in the 53-14. Felt like a really tall gear.

Still, compared to the previous week:

• 60W more power this week.
• Acceleration in the launch was actually quicker. Looking at the first sample at ~12mph, I actually a whole mph more out of that 1.26s interval this week.
• Speed at 250m was 2mph higher
• Cadence at 250m was identical (118rpm)
• Time to 500m was 4s faster
• Somehow I managed to get over 1450W at the start, once I got to 80rpm. I also somehow managed a nice peak 1' power, at 760W. I'm sure I'd be back over 800w with a flying/shifting 1' WRI. Good news!

But, the hill at the end killed me in the taller gear, and I finished at the same time.

So, I need to find a flatter course. I want to try the 53-14 again, at full test RPE. Last time was not quite there. I also think I need to start rolling. Today I did a trackstand for 10 seconds, reset in that position, then started. The computer didn't start recording again until 11mph, so I had to extrapolate back.

In other news. I'm really starting to like this 1' pain again. My brain is twisting nicely, and I find myself wanting to test weekly or more. <evil eyes>
