Given my build and exact position I suppose the calculator estimate is a little on the high end.
And also given my height and gender I probably will never reach pro athlete levels.
But to be fair, olympic track sprinters can reach a lot more than 1500W in an all out sprint.
They often reach in excess of 2000W
