“All models are wrong, but some are useful”
Normalized power is a model to try and give you a sense of what an equivalently difficult effort would be if ridden at a steady state for a similar duration, but its incredibly course and effort dependent in terms of fitting within the rolling 30s window under which it is calculated.
So I’ll turn the question around to you, as the one who rode the courses
How do you interpret it relative to how you felt on the day?
