Intentionally. I haven't puked. Yet. But, that is the reason for noting that you really want to be close to home when you've completed this. Don't try it at the turn around point of a long ride.

I think most of us do. Hence the underestimating of most those TT based tests. I know that studies have repeatedly shown athletes are usually capable of more than they believe themselves to be.
I do not in any way advocate Max HR tests on a regular basis. And, I believe that most training guides would point out that "you should consult a physician, yadda, yadda, yadda," before attempting such.
Oh, and when you collapse, ....try to topple AWAY from the traffic:-)
