So I went to get tested at Blackstone Valley Human Performance for VO2 max and lactate threshold (LT). The first test is a maximum effort test to determine oxygen my body can process. The second test is to find out at what submaximal effort level my body begins to build blood lactaten at an unsustainable level.
I took MIT cycling team friends Alex and Amy, and they had the same tests done. We will likely begin a team partnership with this lab since they have offered us a 25% discount for the team.
The Results:
VO2 Max- 67.6 ml O2/kg/min at max 200 bpm HR
Aerobic Threshold- 205 W with 165 bpm HR
Lactate/Anaerobic Threshold- 235 W with178 bpm HR

My new HR Zones:
I 116-144 bpm
II 146-157 bpm
III 158-166 bpm
IV 167-176 bpm
V 178-187 bpm
VI 189-max bpm
New Power Zones:
I 129 watts
II 129-176 watts
III 178-213 watts
IV 214-249 watts
V 249-284 watts
VI 282-317 watts
