Perhaps my FTP was set too low on garmin perhaps not but why would I lie about my TSS on an Internet forum ? At least jsutkeepspining pointed out why the numbers may be skewed instead of writing "nope."
Actually, I thought about this while I was out today. I wasn't doubting that this was the number that came out, but that the number was actually reflective of reality. I also wanted to know how long you rode and in what terrain.
I'd venture a guess that you do have your FTP set a bit too low. If you don't you have an Ironman power curve, which is certainly possible. But that's a big IF for most pros over 5.5 hours.
