In these, I jump as hard as I can for about 5 seconds, and then hold on until I fall out of my anaerobic zone. In the first couple, it takes about a minute. By the end though, I'm lucky to hang on for half that.
The numbers don't lie but the graphs do - the 5th one was actually the wussiest jump. For some reason PowerAgent wants you to think I sprint at 700 watts when I'm fresh.

I think you need your power meter recalibated. Your watts should be way higher than that I would think. I do remember you doing good moves when I raced with you. I would think at your weight you should at least hit 1000 twice.

Yeah, that's what I mean by the graphs. They seem to spike low but I put out more power than that. If I change the duration to a 10-minute period around each sprint, you can see what the actual graph looks like. The funny thing is that the last one shows the biggest peak here, but all my other sprints were higher - each one pretty close to the Max Power you see underneath the graph in the table.
All of which is to say that despite not doing any sprint training in about 8 months, I can still jump pretty hard when I need to. (Though that's never the issue, is it? It's hanging onto the gap after the jump that's elusive.)
