It's been at 185 for quite some time. I think I got it up into the 190s a few years back during the Le Mans run at Moab. But that was fear driven.... like the running of the bulls.

If so, how did your previous MHR compare to the one produced by the test?

It seems that most of the local riders who have had this done keep the results private. I think it's very cool that you put it all out there for people to see. Of course, your number is quite good so that makes it easier. Regardless, well done. I for one certainly appreciate your willingness to share. I did this when I was in high school and ended up with a number in the 40's. Major props for publishing your data.

The big gain for me was ID'ing the inefficiencies in my stroke and also in my recovery rate. We did a few minor bike fit changes, but will revisit that when I have both bikes on hand. It was a nice way to focus my training on certain areas, and to get a clear picture of what has or hasn't been working. I think it was pretty useful.

Did you couple the VO2max test with a bike fit to make any adjustments? Thanks Dave Adam, I’ve thought very seriously about getting this done this season, do you feel you walked away with a lot of good information that will help you in your season?
