batsheva - that's a really good point. I didn't notice that. I agree...it's probably an errant reading! Looking at that graph, your max is probably somewhere in the 190's....

Mr. Silver, out of curiosity, what hill were you climbing? Boltinghouse Road?
I don't have any expert knowledge to add. I've seen my heartrate as high as 220 on hill in Brown County State Park. My heartrate runs pretty high anyway, but that scared me.

I'm in the "not likely accurate readout" camp. I have a Garmin and it gives me super high readings once in awhile. I figure my max HR is around 185. My usual high up the dreaded hill is round 180 but sometimes it shoots up to 225 or so when I fly down that hill. It's at the very beginning of my ride so I think the thing just isn't "set" quite yet and although I'm sure HR does shoot up high when I'm doing 60+ kmh, I'm positive it didn't really go up to 225.
If I were you, I'd be more worried if it stayed at that high rate over a period of time. It would be interesting to stop and take it manually to see if it really was that high...It is never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Elliot
