I had to go to the hospital for some reason or another- it may be because I got blood poisoning from a cat bite - BTW- if a cat bites you go to the doctor right away- had I waited overnight I would've been hospitalized- it was that serious- Oh yeah- I remember it was after my attempt to ride in the winter - I was slowing down to go up my driveway, and I even had my foot down in case the bike slid... it hit a patch of black ice, I went down HARD - and quicker than I could imagine! It was a dumb accident-
I thought I'd broken ribs- I couldn't "spread out" when I went down and jammed my arm into my side.
Anyway- while I was waiting for test results the doctor did the usual test things - including listening to my heart.He asked if I was an athlete - I told him I'd been biking alot.
He said that made sense because my resting heart rate was 50.

getting to the heart rate the long way
