Here's a hard race. Note that my powermeter, ftp, and zones were was all pretty accurate. Zone 6 was 25 minutes and 6 seconds.
Another of my longest and hardest races. Z6 = 19 minutes and 39 seconds.
These were both from national championship races, so suffice to say I was "slaughtered" in ways that I'm not typically slaughtered.
But hey, maybe you just train so much harder.
Deleted graphs to make the post shorter, but holy moly you did 160km in 4 hours and 1hr40 of that was in your recover zone? Incredible!
