I have training partners who can't get w/in 200W of my 1m power, and they aren't nearly as tired from them.

So, the number you can do will vary due to a lot of factors...

Glad to have you around waterrockets, you're always willing to help and provide lots of great info for those of us not as well versed in the specifics of structured training.
