I did a hard group ride today and ended up with an IF of 0.93 (TSS 329) for just about 4 hours in the saddle (including more than 1 hour above what I think is my threshold and more than 30 minutes at more than 60 watts above threshold). I'm wondering if this might mean I need to redo my FTP test.

Thoughts?
yes.
