500w for 2min, cracking job mate. I did 485 for 1:45 on a short hill near where I live. It's just 31m of elevation over ~700m, but it has the sting in the tail with a short section of 12%. I always tend to start too hard there, and burn out at the end. Last time I held something back for the steep bit, managed to push 20s at 600w at the end. Took 12s off my segment time (which is a bit shorter). Wish I could ride those hills at your weight once :)
Cheers Marco! That's a brilliant effort as well, a steep finish on an effort like that really forces you to empty every last drop doesn't it? 600W for 20s to finish is definitely a sign of good pacing. Riding them at my weight only makes the pain last a bit less long 😂
perfect pacing plan, technique and noises
i call that the “sparkle and fade”
Thank you Chris! Sparkle and fade is a great name for it, definitely using that in future 😅
Cracking mate. Good watch 😊
Thank you mate!
You know it's a good effort when at the end I will have to lower the volume encase the Mrs thinks I'm watching a blue movie 😂
Hahaha 😂 I think the poor people who lived in the farmhouse down the road might have been concerned a spot of dogging was taking place...
Well done lad 👍
Thanks Stu! It's unremarkable compared to the top hitters but I was proud :)
