Charts and Graphs Telling on Me

I slogged away on the trainer for and hour and was supposed to do 15 minutes 3 times. And I did 1 of them. My 5 minute power peak was 281W, while my avg over the 15 dropped to 245 because I took a few rests that killed my average. Blast it all. And then I was fried so I averaged 150W for the last half hour for an overall average of of 167W.

These Power Meters are unrelenting, ease up for just a little bit and they go blab you out.

Your wattage on a trainer will feel a lot harder than outside...I have a tough time doing anything other than SST indoors.

Don't get frustrated with it just reassess as you go along and download every ride...you also may want to pace by HR for a while to get a feel for what the wattage numbers may mean for you.
