So my max heart rate is 197. And I averaged 190 over a 25 mile course (London tri on sat) for 1hr08. Does that mean my threshold HR is 190? Seems too close to max to make sense?

It does seem high, especially for cycling. I would expect that for the run leg. What threshold HR would you usually expect?

I find my race day HR always a bit higher than when training hard. Plus it was a fairly hot cycle yesterday. Too many factors to be sure

My cycle average HR yesterday was 153! Maxed at 174.

I've never known my threshold HR. I averaged 190 over my last 20 min FTP test so it's a bit odd I could do the same for over an hour. Maybe it being race day and adrenaline etc may have something to do with it. Or maybe my HRM is broken. Or maybe I am dying.
