Default odd occurance with powertap

i was doing sprints today and after looking at the downloaded data, i noticed i hit the same peak wattage 3 times! right down to the last watt.
this was the highest number for today.
what are the chances this could happen? maybe there is something wrong with the powermeter.

i think it was just a really freaky coincidence.

a while back i was involved in a study that involved two, 5-sec peak power tests separated by an hour, and that had to be repeated on two different days. using a 20-strain guage SRM (the old Science model), i scored exactly the same peak power on every occasion.
