While the text has us focusing on the left side of the chart, I can't figure out the right side. Am I misreading this chart, or did this athlete improve his 20 minute power from approximately 200 W in 2003, to approximately 300 W in 2004, to over 400 W in 2005? What am I missing? Was this masters athlete recovering from a leg amputation during these years? Or perhaps using PowerCranks :p ?
I don't know who the athlete was, but it's possible that 2003 was their first year of racing. Also, keep in mind that whenever you "cherry pick" data such as when building a power duration curve using CyclingPeaks, it only tells you what you actually did, not what you might be able to do. IOW, it's also possible that their 20 min power appears to have increased so much in 3 y simply because they never really "nailed it" for that duration initially.
kmavm said:Also, how do I prepare a similar chart (MMP over various periods overlaid in a single chart) in cyclingpeaks?
Unfortunately, it's not possible in the current version. Hunter actually generated those plots by using Photoshop to overlap screenshots taken from CyclingPeaks.
