I'm entering my first race this weekend in Coatsville, PA.
Sunday is a Crit (30 minute + 2 laps on a 1 mile coarse) & Monday is a 11 mile coarse with 3 laps.
I am wondering if you guys would comment on the total lack of power in my 1 minute Power Profile. Last night at our local Crit type training ride I produced strong numbers in my 60, 20, & especially 5 minute Average/not normalized power:
60 Min: 3.63 w/kg @ 323
20 Min: 3.81 w/kg @ 356
5 Min: 5.07 w/kg @ 451
... I tanked at the final sprint and could only muster a 15 second effort average of 1,052 watts. This is just me working too hard in the final lap I guess?
When I am fresh I can hit 5 second averages of over 1,450 watts & stay strong to mid 850's at 30 seconds but then I blow up entirely. My power profile shows good power everywhere except the non-existent 1 minute power? How can I be so off after 30 seconds.
Would you suggest just throwing in some 1 minute training? Too late to help my training for a race in 3 days but any advice on that?
