Oh yes, you're the first (and only) person to exceed the target Watts/Kg.
Well done!

OK. Thanks Geoff. You're just trying to tempt me to have another try.

Thanks for the encouragement - i wish i could show the turn of speed that Bobinski showed me as he flashed past - i must remember to try and save a bit for the end !

Thanks for setting up again Geoff
My pleasure, and what an impressive push you made at the end, @JLaw only just stayed out of range.

A 20 second improvement on last nights run, well done indeed.
It was noticeable how much you closed up on the start of each new lap, was that a deliberate effort?
Sorry to see you go bill. At the beginning I was sneakily holding back a bit so I could latch onto you as a pacemaker. I thought if your plan worked ou might drag me to a faster time. Shameless, I know
It didn't work?
Bill, why don't you try manual rather than auto set up and see what happens?
Felt like I was going to suffer a lot and probably come last so I bailed. I'm a bit confused why I can't make the kind of power I saw you pumping out, but I will try the manual pairing next time. I might experiment with some different weights without saving to see if I can track down the problem. Of course the problem could just be me.

Not sure I would have caught jlaw but I left it about 30secs too late so rather than gradually upping power I had to just go for it and run out of puff .
It's the highest average power I've done for anything > 10 minutes. So I'm obviously happy. That ride is comparable to a 20 minute ftp test, which would put my FTP around 260, which is a slight improvement.Oh yes, you're the first (and only) person to exceed the target Watts/Kg.

I can think of a few spots where I took it easy, but I don't see besting that effort in a significant way in the immediate future.

Don't worry, you're safe until you get past 5.5 Watts/Kg...

Thanks again Geoff - I enjoyed watching the Start video, as that was a first for me to actually take my turn at the front of the leading group.
That lasted to about half way and then I started to feel it and couldn't keep pace. Probably doing at little too much with 2 attempts at that, plus daily commuting. Still 90 seconds quicker than last night, so I'm happy with that.
Hopefully there is something left for the Chain Gang tomorrow night.

I wont be starting the session so I'm sure someone will be along shortly with more details. You'll be looking out for Entrenamiento a la hora del almuerzo.
Should be an interesting one - its straight in with an assault on a hill followed by a long downhill which should allow time to recover a bit before the last section.
(Got my 2nd club race tonight so wish me luck!
