Depends on the accuracy of the measuring device and the protocol. But taken at face value, ya, that and the W/Kg is a bit bothersome.
On another note according to my PT Track I did an hour at 100pc FTP last night. Which would be nice but I wasn't doing a protocol. I manually zeroed beforehand and did my best to prevent situations where an auto-zero would stuff it up, and the trace doesn't look sketch. So I'm wondering if the PT track is reading about 20-40 watt more than it should. Annoying.

Last test was done before the knee issue, but FTP felt about right based on yesterday's session with the P2Max, so hopefully I haven't lost too much fitness. I've been steadily dropping from 73kg to the present 70kg, keeping an eye on power to see if less weight has an impact, but haven't noticed anything yet.
I will be re testing within the next ten days though.A quick question with regards to TP. Do people add commuting miles with an estimation of TSS to get a full picture of their workload through the week?
-
I've always logged my commuting miles and did occasionally put a TSS estimate in, but then my commute is only 6 miles a day so with the best will in the world the TSS figures are pretty modest. Now, of course, I can log power on my commute and get a property TSS figure ^^^. Mwahahahaha.
-
70TSS a day is going to have a significant effect on your CTL/ATL figures, so yes, I'd say it is. 35 TSS seems pretty high for a 9 mile commute though, particularly if your FTP is 315. My 6 mile commute (4x 1.5 miles) gave me a grand total TSS of 14.8 today, and that's despite going fullgas up the intimidating south face of Mount Ely on the way home.

I picked up a Wahoo Tickr-X HR strap last week and have been using it with my phone for running whilst Garmin scratch their heads over my Fenix II.
The Tickr-X has been designed as a multi sport strap- for example it can be worn whilst swimming and caches the HR values, uploading after you get out of the water.
It also has a gym mode, which I tested last night- chest and legs session with (for me) heavy weights.
TP has given my ~45 mins in the gym an hrTSS score of ~30.

Does that work With ant+ (at least 920xt). Swimming HR would really help me at the moment. Really struggling to guage my effort for various distances. Just not used to it. Plus I'd like a second belt anyway.
The garmin run belt is pretty awesome.
Its funny (probably not laugh out loud funny). But after dissing the insane amount of seemingly useless data my P2M, run belt, and 920xt gave me. Such as cycling Power Balance, running ground contact time etc. etc. I suddenly find myself using qa fair bit to aid my injury recovery.
My first turbo session after partially tearing my left achilles gave a Power Balance of 58/42. Favouring the injured left. I figured I was confussing the P2M by pulling more With my fresh right leg. So Ive been trying to hold Close to 50/50. Then reducing Power when I feel soreness. Rather then stress and perhaps injure the right.

I can't compete with Mount Ely, but I tackled the challenging south face of Col du Pons Waterloo today: http://tpks.ws/tkIx
42 TSS for a 38 minute commute. It did feel like I was making an effort, but my most recent FTP test was January.

Been a while since I looked, but wen I first got L/R balance it worked out as spot on 50/50 for TT efforts, but IIRC it varied around 45/55 for hard climbs and 55/45 for recovery rides.
