heartrate

I was pretty jazzed after the long ride, but the interesting thing is that my heartrate goes up faster and comes down slower than it used to. I read somewhere that sitting up on the bike after a hard climb or sprint actually makes your heart work harder (veinous return -- heart has to pump harder standing upright). I noticed today doing a short but fast ride that I rode better and felt stronger staying in the drops. Now if this crick in my neck would go away . . .

Thanks for the thoughts.
