MHR too high?

Recently tested my MHR at 194. At 59, it's way higher than average for my age group. I know it doesn't mean anything concerning performance, but I find it a little weird. I train regularly at 170-175, and can do 2 x 20 at 88%. Yesterday I was going at 174, stopped pedalling and 1 min later my HR was 119, so I think recovery is OK. MY RHR is 52-54. What do you think about it?
