got 2 days left…

Great idea to do an hour of power off / recovering from illness.

If I feel better tomorrow, the day after is… errr… a very remote possibility.

Bed from me soon… cant go too early or I will be up at @APM o’clock

What about the average power, NP doesn’t count (because NP busters micro reps etc..)

Great improvement on the NP curve.

I think we can allow it as long as you do 230w average hour power next month. :grinning_face:

It was only @fruit_thief doing his that reminded me about May’s hour of power.

3.5W/Kg

I decided an hour on the TT bike would be less arduous than listening to or watching the match so got the TT bike out hoping the roads would be fairly quiet, there was a bit of traffic but for a Saturday afternoon probably quite good.

Used our club 10 roads but straight into it with no warmup except a steady start. Paced it on feel which felt harder than it should have done but somewhere between 70.3 & 50m TT.

Reasonably pleased with speed for the power, roads are pretty poor slow tarmac, I did have my old skinsuit but standard helmet etc.

My lunch nearly paid a second visit towards the end of that one.

Sustained wattage - it’s fine until it suddenly isn’t :nauseated_face:

:man_shrugging:t2: Think I’ll probably have to push the boat out and go for 250W in July, the quads are already trembling in fear at the prospect though.

One problem, could potentially run out of Alpe at 250W though, was past the final hairpin after an hour today :thinking:

That is my current 10 minute power nevermind an hour.
