I already knew that before. Now it can just be quantified.
I should really start posting some more of my numbers, it will make you guys feel really good.
Last week I did a crit with an average speed of 26mph. AP was 171w.

one of my worst crits (Grant's Tomb) was one in which i was averaging 280w (at 69kg) trying to stay up. Not sleep enough the night before b/c we were the even coordinator didn't help. That crit really really effing sucked.
OTOH, i can sit in and conserve on a fast crit. Then i just wait for 2 to go and launch a suicide attack to see how far i can drag things.

Just do a hard 20 min test on the road and come back and show the coach those numbers?
And jesus christ, I can't even begin to think what it would feel like to hit 320 let alone the 340/350 some of you hit...
I felt like I was flying when I was at a 270-280 20 min power. Sigh.

Coach emailed me and they realized I got the wrong threshold test (wrong product). I got the 20' TT, which is really just a Computrainer workout. I was supposed to get the full SRM analysis on the ergometer. We'll do that next week, on this bike:
I won't be having any inertial problems on that thing with an adjustable 50-100kg flywheel.

Good guess. Max I've seen this year was 205. I know a 70+ year old who regularly hits 190s.

180 and I'm way past threshold. 190 and I'm seeing stars. But it's different for everyone.

I've had 180 for a two hour ride (I'm 44).

Mine was 175 for the 20' test today, and that was five higher than I thought it would be (I rarely use my HRM). That would put my LTHR in the 171-172 range, which is the same as it was when I was 25, 30, 35... Everyone is different.

I cleared my calendar to go home early and get a ride in before a "command performance" family dinner (nephew that just graduated UVa and then was commissioned as an officer in the USMC is leaving tomorrow). I gathered up my kit and was ready to change when Spawn2 walked in the back door of the house. He was picked up from school by my f-i-l and was supposed to go to their house all the way across town to work on some school assignments. Grandpa dropped him of at our house and left without even saying "hello". All of his textbooks and other assorted materials were at the inlaw's, so he couldn't do anything at home. I had to waste an hour driving him there and coming home, just to go back there with Spawn1 in a few minutes. At least I spent the short time I had in the interim posting on BF instead of riding.
Tomorrow I will try to do a "two-a-day" if I can to make up for this training failure.
And I blame Spawn2 more than f-i-l for this.

Anyway, did a fast group ride with only 3 of us this morning. People put themselves into categories for this ride - cheese, mice, rabbits or hounds leaving at 5:50, 5:55, 6:00 and 6:05. I was in the last group and we passed the earlier riders about 3/4 the way through.
