Numbers are excuses, but they can also work as benchmarks. Without it I would have never known what my limit was, that day, after a couple of faster laps. This weekend, pre-riding the San Luis course, magically 750 watts was the same number that it took to shake off a pesky rider and crest 1st over highway 395. He put it to me on the first part, but I decided to see how much it would take to loose him... Question is, can I do that 10 times..... probably not.... yeah, I know….. but this was the absolute limit at that time….

Jan, unplug the watt-o-meter and just ride. I think you are letting that gizmo, rather than your body and intuition, tell you when to stop. “Into the headwind, pegged at 750w for about 500 meters and I was done.”

I actually dropped off twice but got back in. Not normal for me but hey... I only had one gear. I am contemplating doing it again this Thursday but upping the gear.
