curmugeon | Exercise and tech toys

Played hooky from work this afternoon, needed a mental health break. Did a bike ride with my new heart rate monitor, very interesting. I think I reached about 140 max at one point, but was far from doing my hardest, but was surprised how quickly I recovered. I have a fairly fast resting heart rate, probably because my heart works a bit harder to compensate for my other ills. It is a fun toy that adds a bit of fun to my workouts. I see what it does when I try mountain biking at 5000 feet above sea level.
