Those are some damn impressive gains, and also goes to show how tough it is to improve your times on the road... ouch 9% power increase for <5 minutes on an OLY bike split.


I think that it is a pretty good increase on the road, though I guess it depends on what one takes to be 'significant'.  At my last Olympic race I averaged 23.8.  A .9 increase in speed would have pushed me from 21st (bike split overall, out of 800) to 12th.  I'd take that!


I'd imagine most people would take it too, as that is quite a nice power jump.  And in your case .9 mph would drop your time by 3 minutes.  Seems that once you get to a decent level of fitness you aren't going to be taking any big chunks of time off your bike split (but maybe be able to run better off the bike).
