      Hey Lynda,

      A liitle recent history. Dislocated shoulder, AC separation, broken ribs and a disloctaed sternum 6 weeks ago. I was on the second round of the 24 PR plan since last Nov.OP in Feb, a 24 last weekend.

      The 24 hour race on 5-2 went like I thought it would, legs felt fine but the shoulder was killing me at 8-1/2 hours and I dropped.

      I am still waiting on some medical tests that will determine my future, but my time was running out for starting the CTR plan. I figured I could start and keep up as best I can till I get the medical info I need to figure myself out.

      My question is about the TT tomorrow. I know I cant give it my best shot. Can I go back to my recent test from about 10 weeks ago? Should I go back to one of my earlier tests? The difference in heart rate from my first to most current test is only 3 BPM, faster overall on course,

      Hi Sean,

      Dave Harris here – I'll be handling the CTR plan questions.

      I'm assuming you are training by heart rate and not power, correct?

      Dave, Thank you for the response.

      HR only, I'll get a disc PT at some point and get fully geeked out. I'll just continue on like nothing ever happenedWink
