291 Watts

291 Watts. OH SO CLOSE! I'm sorry that it's taken me a few weeks to write up this post. The TL:DR is that I hit 291 watts at Xert Functional Threshold, which is the highest value I have seen in well over a decade. At the same time, I dropped down to 147lbs, or 67kg, giving me a w/kg Threshold of 4.36. My Xert HIE (High Intensity Energy) went above 25 kJ, and my Xert Lower Threshold went above 225. Here is a screen shot showing the 291 watts and the rest of my Xert Signature.

On October 31st, after about 6 weeks of training, I achieved 291 watts of Threshold Power, 25.2 kiloJoules of HIE, a peak power of 1108 watts, and a Lower Threshold Power of 228 watts.

The Xert Training Pacer Rainbow Dial tells me where I stand on my volume and focus goals in a graphical way.
I woke up this morning, after a good 7 hours of sleep, and opened the Xert App on my phone. Then I clicked on "Training". The Xert Training Pacer Rainbow Dial gave me a succinct summary of my XSS deficit, and my XSS Goals for the day. I had breakfast, did some work, and then headed out on my mountain bike.
