Went out tonight to do the 20 min FTP test per the Training & Racing with power book/bible...

Went well.  Legs felt much better than yeserday. 

20 min stats:

Avg Pwr:  341!!!!!!!

Avg HR: 172 

Weight 171 lb (77.7kg)

Using the 95% conversion that puts me at a FTP of 324.  With a Power to Weight ratio of 4.17w/kg.  That's a much bigger improvement than I expected.  I was secretly hoping to be at that by the end of this summer 2 months away...  Now being there, I'm uping the ante.  Seeing as my training has only been consistently good in May and June, I think I can still make some big gains yet this summer.

Great ride, felt good the whole time.  Good power throughout.  Got 2nd in first sprint, was sitting in the back when zink broke away.  Once you lose his wheel there's no getting back to it.  In the 2nd section Zink and I took off on one of the steep hills.  Sprint was a good one, he smoked me though.   3rd section I sat back let attacks go hoping to get pulled back up to them by somebody and sprint in the end.  didnt get back up to the attackers ..

I always look at the first section on every Tuesday ride powerwise.  Here's the stats
