^ this. It's a training tool, not a dick measuring device.
I get much higher numbers generally from racing - especially at the track where I can't see a screen :)
Not surprisingly - my best numbers this year for:
5s power - standing starts in team sprint or jump in flying 200m
1 min power - attacking in a Keirin
5 min power - Scratch race
20 min power - 10 mile TT
60 min power - climbing the Malaucène side of Ventoux
I've been using a power meter since May and I still feel like I'm only just starting to build up a decent set of numbers.
