When I crossed the line it automatically changed my jersey to green and said congrats on the screen. Looking at my strava for that part showed that I hit 1180 watts which I'm sure is not true. My HR was 195 which is 4bpm off my max. I thought my bike was going to break off the trainer.
Last sprint I did was in the 21.x second range, and I blew about 2 seconds before the line. SRM said 1090w peak, 960w for 10s, 860w for 20s. I tried to get up to speed going into the sprint - I figure I'd lose less speed at the tail end, with low power, versus trying to accelerate 10 mph at the beginning. I didn't do any analysis so I don't know how my approach went.
Looking at
the ride data it looks like the power was close. With the Fluid2 the resistance goes up when the fluid heats up so my Zwift power will drop quicker than my actual power (because my trainer gets harder and harder to move). The peak is basically the same, 1060 or whatever. SRM says I basically gave up at 727w, Zwift says it was more like 580-620w.
Tomorrow I hope to ride Zwift.
