My 5 min was all I had and was a great effort @ 442 watts. My previous trainer high was 419 and my last test 400, so huge improvement all around. This combined with weight loss puts me @ 5.74 watt/kg.
Tomorrow is my FTP test and if I look at relation of what I tested previous to my 5min, I should be thinking 365-375, but we will see.
One odd thing I have noticed on my last 3 5min tests was that my HR will be steady till the last 30 seconds and then instantly jump 10-15bpm. It is pretty odd as my power is actually lower most of the time.
