Apparently my sprint is quite awesome?
Went on a what I thought was a relaxed Sunday ride last weekend. Sprinted at the end. Should I tell Sagan, Greipel, and Cavendish that they're doing it wrong?
In case anyone is wondering, that was a Powertap SL+ paired to a Garmin Edge 500.

You got me beat on the sprint, but I got you beat on the NP - my 3hrmax on a 50 mile ride I did with my Powertap+ in January this year was 710 with a TSS of 2862
Too bad I had to get a replacement faceplate for the hub because of that ride - apparently I'm a shadow of my former self before and after that fix.

215W NP, seems pretty slow. Dunno if your FTP is set too low thats throwing off your IF off

Yeah, FTP is set low in Garmin Connect. I don't usually use it (I usually use WKO+ where the IF for this ride was .790). When I imported the data into WKO+, it was smart enough to recognize the spike and trimmed it to 1181 watts. I could have posted that, but it wouldn't have been as impressive.
hhnngg1: TSS of 2862? You must've slept for a month afterwards.

If you can hang on for 6 hours+ in the pelton, you could dust those guys in the final stretch.

There's a neighborhood near me that does exactly the same thing to my HR monitor.
