LTHR test

Alright, well in the end of november, I completed two separate tests to determine LTHR. The first was as close to a half hour TT as I could complete on LI without having to stop. It ended up closer to 20 minutes, and I think I started out too fast. The end result was an avg HR of 183 bpm. With a little factoring involved, I figured that puts me around 171-175 bpm LTHR. On 25 november, I completed a graded test which revealed an apparent LTHR of 179-180. Thanksgiving day I tested this by riding at around 180 for a long stretch at the end of our thanksgiving ride that we hold around here. my legs were toast by the end, so i figure 180 is a bit high. I figure I'll just set it as 175 for now until I can get more data.
