Good Morning Xerties,
First up, I wanted to give a shout out to the magic bucket team, I literally just started using it last weekend, after coming across someone’s post on social media sprinking the product. What a game changer, especially for solo rides where you can do what you want. Filling up the bucket became a awesome game and I can see how it will become addictive in the future and potentially lead to burnout… Haha
With regards to the Xert breakthrough feature, I watched the online videos from zert themselves I think it was called tutorials or masterclass, irrespectively I was able to obtain 2x breakthroughs of which the little gold medallion with the red ribbon from the bottom popped up on the Garmin screen, as per attached photo. I was able to do this on the first occasion using magic buckets externally so outside and internally indoor.
Now what I don’t understand is is that my last breakthrough states that my last breakthrough was one month ago, ironically stating that my fitness signature is stale….
I know that I had the breakthroughs because I was actively attempting to achieve the breakthrough via lowering my MPA lower than my actual power output for longer than five seconds (shout out to the developers for creating this insane tool! ).
Ironically, when I reviewed the power chart from Xert website it showed that the purple MPA line didn’t reach the power line, however the MPA line on the same power chart uploaded directly to Zwift showed it crossing; very odd.
So my question is is what I believe I obtained an actual breakthrough or something else or is there an issue with the system not picking up the breakthrough?
