At last I have something tangible to show for my bicycle riding besides a depleted bank account.
I measured my resting heart rate today and it was 48–squarely within the “well-conditioned athletes” range. It’s been a while since I last kept track of my RHR; I recall that historically it has hovered around 60. So this would be a notable improvement.
Still, it’s 14 bpm above Lance Armstrong [see under “About Lance”/”Key Stats”], who is in the 32-34 range. Wow.
Congratulations!
