Hi all,

Went for a ride today 25 miles...nothing huge, but it has a few good hills in it. Was riding with my brother so it was a little competitive. When I checked my Polar at the end of the ride I had an average HR of 155 and a MAX HR of 223! Usually I have a max of 195 or so.

I am a 30 yo male, moderatly fit, can run 5 km in just under 20 mins, can comfortably average the above ride at 14-15mph...nothing huge but not unfit...about 16% body fat...resting pulse around 55bpm.

I thought my HR MAX should have been somewhere around 190 or so...certainly not 223. Am I broken?? I did not feel as though I busted my hump, certainly nothing hurt....I don't even know exactly when it occurred.

Any comments??? Any body elses HR experiences welcome......Thanks...

Cheers
