It's not weird. just means you are at the higher end of the bell curve. You have to understand that any formula to determine MHR is based on averages (and even accuracy for this is suspect: see e.g.,
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/24/he...ea9017&ei=5070 (you may have to register with the NYT to read, but it's free & worth it)) and as such is useless to determine appropriate numbers for any particular individual. I'm 58 & my MHR is ~200 (haven't really tested lately, but I think that's close).
