11/12/09: More Power Tests

A little delayed, but better late than never, right?

6 weeks after my first bout of testing, I repeated my power tests to track my progress. Taking some nice steps forward toward my goal of where I want the numbers to be come Spring.

5min - 379w
20min - 309w (FTP of 294w)

I experienced more improvement percentage-wise in the 20min test; not surprising given my main focus on Tempo (L3) work at this time of the year.

Next test occurs the week of Thanksgiving. Things have been going well, so I would expect another solid uptick in the numbers. My ultimate goal is to be north of 410w for the 5min test and north of 345w for the 20min by March 2010. That would set up the racing season nicely.

Ride safe,
Nate
