I'd be willing to bet most of the best Sailors that run for their fitness test could beat my 20 second sprint on the bike. I used to run hurdles in high school but my anaerobic sprint speed is mostly shot now. I just set a new best hour (59:58 to be exact) of 276W but I still haven't cracked 1000W for even 1s since I got a power meter two years ago.
As far as the Navy goes I don't *need* a sprint speed as the bikes top out at about 500-525W and you aren't allowed to come out of the saddle when you ride for the fitness test. The Navy gives us awesome Concept 2 rowers for those who choose to row and mediocre gym-level exercise bikes to ride on. Discrimination!
