Thanks Armando. My maximal 60-min NP for the ride told me it was a stand out already. It was 17W higher than for any previous ride in the current training "season". I've since come within a handful of NP watts of that day a couple of times which suggests it's not an outlier.
I think the Xert HIE is an overly generous estimate.
I'm still coming back to my fundamental question of what actionable intelligence am I getting from Xert that i don't already know? i.e. something useful that I don't already know or suggest doing something that I wouldn't already.
Actionable intelligence depends on the practitioner. There are many, for example, that would argue that power data provides no actionable intelligence over heart-rate data. Someone that knows how to use a slide rule would say that a calculator provides no actionable intelligence. I think one would have to take into account the practitioner. Many feel quite comfortable and adept at using older methods and are skeptical of our newer methods. That's normal. But there are growing number of curious and adaptable folks out there that have found new ideas and approaches that they may have found to be more opaque or difficult to interpret using the older methods. Not everyone will get it right away though as the concepts are still new. In due time...
