I decided I was bored and did a FTP test because i have been putting it off. I did the standard 20 minute and 5 minute all out tests. I scored an average power of 316W for the 20 and 368w for the 5 minute test. When i put this into the metric, I get a FTP score of 303w, which is about what I had during my summer test. Predictably it has dropped from 316w since October and the end of race season.
One goal is to try and keep this as high as possible through riding and racing this spring. I am going to try and test every 6 weeks this spring to see what happens. One of the reasons I did this was to get an accurate measure of the "sweet spot" of 85-100% FTP so when I am crunched for time I can work out in that zone.
