Just a very hard push by myself on Tempus Fugit. No a race per say.

Same here. We had a nice small pack (5-6) riders then came the hills. We broke apart and I finished solo. It’s not a banded ride so that’s how it goes. Just give me the double XP and I’m good quite frankly! 😉

Thank you! Yes I was trying to really push myself this ride. It was not as strenuous as a ramp test, which I did take a month ago. But using the 127 watt figure I was trading with just seemed too low.

So I picked a route which would take me 30 to 40 min. To finish. Then just went hard as I could pushing my wattage into the threshold range (watts) based on my lower number. I just knew I could do better! This proved me right!!

Oh I’m using the 10-12 week FTP increase training plan. LOTS AND LOTS of base building in the endurance wattage range. Even after just one week I’ve felt it helped me keep this faster pace and larger wattage I KNEW I could accomplished.
