I thought it would be interesting to compare the 15 minutes of last Sunday's webster crit with the 15 minutes from my last Tuesday night crit.

Here's from the race Sunday:

 New Range #1:
	Duration:	15:10
	Work:	175 kJ
	TSS:	25 (intensity factor 0.994)
	Norm Power:	249
	Distance:	5.725 mi
		Min	Max	Avg
	Power:	0	839	193 watts
	Heart Rate:	95	217	163 bpm
	Cadence:	41	124	88 rpm
	Speed:	2.5	32.9	22.6 mph
	Torque:	0	355	59 lb-in

And here's from last Tuesday:

Selection:
	Duration:	35:32
	Work:	433 kJ
	TSS:	62 (intensity factor 1.023)
	Norm Power:	256
	Distance:	15.214 mi
		Min	Max	Avg
	Power:	0	796	203 watts
	Heart Rate:	114	203	168 bpm
	Cadence:	40	135	91 rpm
	Speed:	2.4	35.4	25.7 mph
	Torque:	0	366	57 lb-in

It does appear that I worked a bit harder on Tuesday night. This would agree with how I felt after Sunday when I had to drop out due to the confliguration in a crash. Which was that I really felt like I had a lot left.

These don't compare

Your post said you were comparing two 15 minute segments but the last Tuesday one is 35 1/2 minutes. You did a lot more in this piece of Tuesday's race than you did on Sunday but the 15 minutes on Sunday could have come from an easier portion of the race like if you were sitting in.
