You know, it's funny because I sort of had a buster on Saturday too.
If there was a course to generate an NP buster, this might be it. It was a criterium with a fairly long hill that takes about 60 seconds to climb (for me) out of a total lap time of about 3 minutes each. I got dropped about 1/4 of the way through but kept riding, hitting the hill at L5/L6 each time, picking other dropped riders up and we had a merry band at the end. In any case, IF was 1.099, VI was 1.16 for 54 minutes.
I've been working on threshold development and also L5/L6 stuff lately so it seems that it may time to retest. I wrote "sort of" above because I think this just came from better fitness and a suitable course and not any sort spectacular capability on my part. It was my second best NP for that duration ever, the best coming from a 40km ITT I rode 4 years ago.
