Then there's the top of the hill where it maxed at 182!

If you think that's high...I haven't worn my HRM on a run in a while but I routinely run in the 170s to 180s. Max is 211 according to VO2max test I had a couple of years ago as part of a research study. Now, I'm only 26 but still--that's on the high side.
