Based on the info you provided your test does look to have produced a low HR. I'd guess your threshold heart rate to be closer to 165 bpm. Redoing the test outdoors is a good idea.
FYI: Race derived average heart rates are usually an overestimate of what is appropriate to use in training due to the extra race day excitement and stimulation.
