    "data": {
        "note": "Inverting the power law gives the pace a target wattage holds: pace = (2.80 ÷ watts)^(1/3) seconds per metre, and the 500 m split = pace × 500. 200 W works out to about a 2:00.4 split. This is how an erg converts a watts target into the split shown on the monitor, and lets you compare a rower's power to a cyclist's or any other watts figure.",
