Does the emphasis on data-driven analysis in modern cycling, such as power output and heart rate monitoring, overshadow the importance of subjective, experiential feedback in truly understanding and improving race performance? Are we relying too heavily on cold, hard numbers to inform our training decisions, and neglecting the valuable insights that can be gleaned from reflective, introspective analysis of our own physical and mental states during competition? Can we really trust that our power meters and GPS devices are providing a complete picture of our performance, or are we missing out on crucial contextual information that can only be obtained through careful self-reflection and honest assessment of our own strengths and weaknesses?
