IIRC, which is asking a lot given the number of threads, I don't see these things adding up:

This from the PezCycling interview: "The first really big thing I can document was when I climbed La Marcourera in September. My personal best for this climb was 29'47" done 14 years earlier when I was 24 years old and 4 kg lighter than I am now. In 2005 I was able to do this climb in 30'14". This year when I did it my time was 27'40", 90 seconds faster than my previous best. My PowerTap data for this climb averaged 340 watts, compared to 280 the year before."

280w = 30:14
340w = 29:47
358w = ~31:00????????????????????????????????

THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE...

That's my fault..I couldn't remember his best time and was too lazy to look it up; I thought it was around 30. Tonight he just said he'd missed his best by about a minute. I was still down the climb huffing and puffing. I probably should've left the numbers out of the post entirely without the power file. Yes, the PT has an interval, and I saw that it was zeroed before we started.

I actually mixed that up. 29:47 was from way back in the day.

It should have been:
280w = 30:14
340w = 27:40
358w = 1 min slower?? 31:00??

358w should have been, according to analytic cycling, another 75seconds faster. That's approximate, obviously. My bad on misreading the article. Which makes a 31 really slow... But what's really odd is that he was a minute slower, instead of 1:15 faster...
