Did another test today on the same hill that I have done the previous ones on so far, although the test last weekend was a little distorted as I was pushed into the side of the road by a rider trying to move out of my way while I was undertaking. The hill was being used as part of a charity ride route so I laughed it off, after all it was not as bad as the fall I took while out with my son earlier in the day covering the 10mile loop. I got cought in a deepening tyre rut in the grass (riding on the sides of a gravel track) to the point that I ended up falling sideways and unable to clip out I landed sideways in a heap. Was quite funny as I was on my training bike in kit ready to go for a ride afterwards and looked a right sight laid out on the side of the road ! My son did not think it was as funny and was more concerned about me being ok, although I was laughing too much....
Anyhow, did the same hill again today and this time looked at the time and set off. The dip in power output is when I changed down a gear or two as my cadence felt wrong. Further up the hill I looked at the time and kept on going another 10 seconds until the minute was up.. net result.... 721W.
Well... I'm starting to think about my training and previous style of blasting around, no wonder I did not get much improvement ?
This now brings my profile to a point that says I need to work more on my sprint....
