Conversely, they might have been 6% and 8% over then.
No point in getting too upset about it. Best thing to do is go and ride a local 10 which you have done before. And hopefully some "peers" turn up to compare against.
Logically, your training load has increased, you've been doing the right sort of training, so you should be producing more power. I'm still voting for "up". But the jury is out on what sort of "up" up is.
See the drift in a months time etc. etc.
(now, if you still had the power tap, you could have measured against that again).
Very true. I'm not too concerned in reality as I've recently been comparing turbo speed for steady state intervals of varying power over the last 5-6 months, and everything points at it being consistent (typically within 1% of the speed for matching power).
Alas my plan for a local 10 tonight has been scuppered, mild chest infection at the moment I think, so have stopped training. Think I'm on the mend so hoping to ease back into it tomorrow to hopefully be in some sort of form for Saturday's BDCA 25.
