Interesting - do you think the previous was an off day for some reason, or head wasn't in it?
No, I think it was definitely a calibration issue. I have a Kinetic on-wheel trainer and it definitely needs to be calibrated often, especially when it's cold. When I did the first TR ramp test, I used the Kinetic power input but I just brain farted and forgot to calibrate it first.
A couple of rides later I was playing around with using TR and Zwift simultaneously. I ran Zwift through AppleTV, using the power data from my Quarq, and TrainerRoad through my iPad using the power data from the trainer. And that's when I could see the huge discrepancy between the two power sources and I remembered that I had forgotten to calibrate the trainer before the first ramp test. So, mystery solved.
