Thanks...for the record I am 34. Resting HR @ 50
My legs and my heart hardly felt spent on this climb unlike my lungs. I play ice hockey and I know when my heart feels like its gonna explode out of my chest....but I do not know my MaxHR or my LT...need to figure those our I know.
I think learning to breath better may be the answer. I also have a new ride this year...a racier Tarmac from my Trek. That might have something to do with it.
Thanks for you replies to a newbie who's learning to listen to his heart rate.
