Heart rates.
The club training ride the other night was interesting. I was standing in a
bus shelter next to this guy who is a local time trial champ, waiting for everyone to turn up and I noticed my heart rate was 90 and glanced at his which was 70. As I leant over to see his HRM display it shot up to 95. He was stunned until he realised it was picking up my heart instead of his! Heading over the Humber Bridge into a gale force wind my alarm went off at 180 bpm as I dropped off the back. When I met up with them again after 5 laps of our circuit they wanted to know why I got left. I said I was already *10 bpm* over my theoretical max and as such could not go any harder, which seemed to amuse them. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to keep up :-( -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |
