197w? This cannot be true, D. Are you sure that you have calibrated the PT?
Also - FTP is what you can hold at 'steady state' for an hour at your absolute limit - you are currently using it as 'recovery'- so no recovery. You will never be able to hold onto it after 30s smash repeats. No way.
As miro_o suggests, you will end up sub threshold anyway (in the sweet spot probably) which will still be a hard workout. Basically, don't worry about it - your body will only do what it can, just aim to get as close to FTP as possible, and you will end up in the sweetspot. It will still be a total barf-fest.

What is going on?
My FTP is apparently 197 (stop laughing).
I've been doing, or trying, the cyclocross sessions. Ride at FTP, smash it for 30, ride at FTP, smash, etc.
I cannot hold my FTP.
It's because I'm weak right?
