@Travelmama & @Dalai
Those might have been the most valuable resources I've read in weeks. Trifuel led me to a lot of answers as to how to maximize my off-season and the specific relationships between RPE & power were incredible. As a trainer, I have gobs of experience with RPE & HR, so that wasn't so bad to begin with, but the association with power will help a lot.
Thank you for those!
By the way...

Yeah...I have plenty of that. Will do. But I remember a quote I read somewhere about the mental game of riding wind-- "You can see the end of a hill. You can't see the end of the wind."
