    This thread is giving me the idea of wearing my HRM while I watch the Olympics tonight. I am such a sap. The top two Chinese pairs skaters made me cry. [Results removed.]

    I can just see the graph, nothing but peaks and valleys.

    Luv'n - use this time to cheer on others, re-group and rest. Gather and store that energy and you'll be fine.

    Thanks for spilling the beans about the skating. I haven't watched it yet.

    Actually, it (the pairs skating final) wasn't even last night. It was yesterday morning. I love how the networks pick and choose what gets a time delay and what doesn't.

    Any way, so what is your resting heart, Miss Number Cruncher?

    Mine? I'm freakishly low and high.

    Resting is 40, max is 202. I love my heart! My heart rate drops so fast now. On my recovery ride last week, I had my HRM set to beep if I went over 160 and below 110. It would beep as I crested a hill because I was over and halfway down it would beep again because I was under. I really love my heart!

    I've seen 32, 38, and 42. I don't trust that 32. That seems morgue-ishly low.

    I was back on the bike in 6 weeks following my hysterectomy.

    I'm another freak.... my resting HR in the AM is usually around 58-63. I would think it would be lower with 25 years of aerobic exercise! It stays around 66-72 during the day if I am sedentary, but goes up to 80-90 pretty quickly when I start moving around. It also goes down quickly when I sit. I stopped wearing my hr monitor while riding because I know my hr is always high for the first 30 minutes I ride. Then it settles in at around 75-80 % unless I am climbing. This bothered me until I realized it's just my pattern. It's always the same. But I still get the "lowHR" comments from my physicians, or mostly the nurses who think a hr in the 60's is low.
