Power numbers on Reservoir street climb

Last nite I went and did the Monday Night Ride. Once we got on reservoir, george and I took off. I was for 7:50 on the segment, but I didn't go all out. I pulled for most of it and felt good. I ended up just shy by 3 seconds, which I could have done if I sprinted the last 200 meters. Looking at my times for this year, the power output seems to be in the same range.

The fastest time is from earlier this year on MNR with a couple of guys taking turns pulling. We also had a nice tail wind, which made a big difference. From what the data shows, times faster than 8:30 is consistently over 200 watts for the segment. According to Strava, my best 8:00 min avg power is 266. Last nite's effort was 261 avg for 7:53.

I know the goal is attainable, so it's just a matter of training and a proper warmup.
