I was disciplining myself that the only readout on the Garmin I would look at was the race clock. Sometimes I get distracted by too many other fields. I still could have worn and just not looked at those fields during the race. Next time I will wear it.

Thanks for reading and commenting on mine as well. I hope you will consider running the Philosopher's Way Run on May 10 -- http://www.trailheads.org/pwtr/. Cheers, Monk Sean,

My average HR was 167 according to garmin... That still puts average at 94% of max for the race. I think that is within possible, and I am happy if I was able to hold that. :-) I wish I could post HR vs. elevation, as that seems to be the biggest correlation in this race.

While you were peaking near 175, it looks like your average is probably quite a bit lower, so yes, I guess I do believe your max could be near 178.

Based on 220 - age, which I know is not very accurate, I would be 181. A few years back 220-age was way off for me -- always showing a max HR too high, but now it seems closer. I've always had a high LT and been able to go high for a long period... However I agree, looking at the numbers, 98% of max for that long would be impressive. :-) But even at a max of 185 I was at 95% of max. I have thought of doing one of those human perf tests. There's a college about 30 minutes from here that I should try. I need to do a max heart rate test, but I have not seen my HR over 175 in a few years.
