1 and 2 hr values are both from this weekend's HIM race but I haven't done any long sustained power efforts in training recently, and no 25 or 50mile TTs.
I normally use 10mile TTs as my benchmark FTP test as I work harder with a number on, and there are enough local events to be easily repeatable. Based on my current TT results I estimate FTP to be around 250w, however I've only been able to race twice so far this year so I suspect that in reality it's a fraction higher but I don't have data to actually support that.
Switching from TTs last year to long distance Tri this year has seen a c. 30w drop off in FTP, but in my limited racing this year, I don't appear to be significantly slower - presumably because of improved aeros.
