    I complain that my Catrike position I cannot get a full breath like I
    can on the regular 2 wheels. Here is the Garmin Stats for yesterdays >Catrike, notice average HR 92 Max 135 I don't have a power meter on it
    so cannot measure it. But when done I was pretty tired.

    The only thing I can suggest is like Zen suggested, changing your
    riding position. Moving the boom in or out a quarter inch or so does
    change your riding position differently than changing the seat height
    on a diamond frame. It moves your placement on the seat. I've slid my
    seat down and forward from where it was originally to rearrange where
    the lumbar bend hit my back. I also loosened the seat straps under my
    bottom so it creates a kind of bucket seat situation that keeps me in
    the same place on the seat.
