Racing isn’t all about w/kg, it’s about results and fun. But I do like having something to shoot for.

I also don’t want to think the outcome will continue how it has so far. I’m 33 and come far in riding just a year and a half.

I don’t want to shoot for something that’d just let me down. I hit a 4.0 w/kg in a test the other day and it felt great, like there wasn’t an end in sight. But there is. And it’s going to be harder for the rest.

On 6 to 8 a week only on the bike, how much could I push the ratio?

I’m at 280 and 70kg now and could easily hold probably 67kg this year. I see no issue hitting close to 4.5 by year end.

Is 5.0 possible at all on that time? I’m more of a HIIT guy that throws in some long stuff in the year when possible. I feel I’ve responded great so far to the work. I like the work as much as the race. Just seeing what I can do. To me I don’t need to win bike races to justify my training. It’s just fun icing to even participate.

A five-oh to me would be at 330ish watts and mid 60s kg.

I’ll probably try anyway, but what level of hurt is in store here?
