I'm curious...

I read lots of posts here with absurd power outputs (even if we put it in w/kg). Like, they absolutely blow anything I can do out of the water. Yet, I'm throwing down just fine in the 1/2/3/4 weekly crit, have played with (and even beaten) some 1/2's in recent TT's, and am doing just fine against some other strong Cat 3's right now in my races.

So, the obvious question is... Are you all underperforming, and I overperforming, or is it sort of like a which **** is bigger contest, and everyone kind of fudges it?
