my resting hr is dead-on 70 bpm, and max is somewhere around 210. glad to know there are other "freaks"! i always get weird reactions among athlete friends (because you know we all sit around and compare specs like that)
i used to be on asthma meds, which are notorious for jumping your hr, but i've been off them for a year now and the hr hasn't really changed.
bp is low too... does that make sense? (lower bp-> thinner blood-> have to pump more/faster to get the same amount of oxygen through?) though when you're scared/angry don't both usually go up? i can never remember the connection there...

Hmmm... I know my resting heart rate was around 56... not sure what my resting or max is at the mo - haven't used partner HRM for months and months... have asked for one for my birthday...

Mine is around 55 when I'm riding. When I'm off the bike in the winter, it goes up to around 70. I donated blood and it was 72 and I thought "jeez I'm out of shape!"
