I'm a diesel.
The last time I raced a true XC race was in Winter Park, Colorado in 2010. I did a number of CU Boulder STXC races last year and had a blast. Those did hurt but the hurt was short lived at 20-30 min max. Fortunately for me, I enjoy racing long distances and it is no surprise that I tend to do better in the 50-100 mile range. With that said, there is nothing more fun than bleeding out your eyes for an hour on twisty singletrack with a hundred other people on a sunny Saturday morning. Thanks to the Intermountain Cup Racing Series for putting on a great event (my first). I will be back for more sooner than later.
So what does it look like when you put a diesel in a rally car race?

165? That's an amazingly low max. Any idea why it's so low?
Not sure why it is so low (somewhere in the 165-170 range) I'm usually at least 20+bpm lower than others.
Here is an STXC from last year. I was going all out the whole time in Z4 and Z5 (Suffer Score). My Ave HR is 155bpm which is also the LTHR I get during my tests.
