low heart rate

[SadieKate]

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 don't know what my resting HR is, but I know my BP is really good. Actually my doctor is concerned that it's a bit low. And they always look at me like I'm a freak too because when I get on the scale I'm considered obese because of my height. But I'm built like a stump, and while i do have about 25-30 lbs to lose I'd hardly call myself obese. My doctor looked at the circumference of my ankles, elbows, and wrists and said I have the bone structure of a 6'2" man!
And I'm 5'1"!!!!!! What can I say, I come from good German stock!
I like to say that I've embraced my inner stumpiness....

Not stumpiness Running Mommy, sturdiness!

See Veronica, you're not the only "sturdy" girl here!

Sturdiness is good. I wish more models were sturdy.

Mine was wandering between 48 and 52 last Monday at choir practice (sitting there waiting for the tenors to do their thing)... and then I *ate* something at the break. It was up in the sixties the rest of practice. So all that digesting must have accelerated it - I know I ahd a little more engerny.
When I give blood my bp is usually 104/64 ish... but this morning when I had my physical -- new year's resolution met, ladies, it's been over 10 years since I've darkened a doctor's office door -- it was 130/70! I wasn't nervous, tho' I had ridden the bike over.
Weight was 155... gotta get to work on that...

Thanks for the replies, nice to know that I have lots of company out there with slow, but steady resting heart rates!

I appreciate your support and agree that six weeks of rest is not the end of the world. It will take some work on my part, but I will catch up to my friends that are still in training. I attend a pretty cool bootcamp in the tri off season and I miss everyone.

Fixedgeargirl, maybe we can meet up for a ride later this spring. You must do the 360/Southwest Pkwy/Bee Cave Road route. Do you do the Dam loop too? I haven't done that since early summer. In fact, I have hardly done any riding this winter, my normal group disbanded for the moment, but will regroup once tri training starts again in March.

Thanks again everyone!

Hi luvn'! I ride out on 360 but like to get off the highway (Toro Canyon, Redbud, etc.) I've never actually done the Dam Loop. . Let's ride when you're healed up !
