When I did my naval academy physical, my resting heart rate was 46, after 3 minutes of jumping jacks and pushups, and a 30 second rest, my heart rate was 58 -- they repeated that test three times because they didn't believe they were counting correctly.
Prior to the physical, I was riding 100 miles a day, 200 on Saturday, and 150 as a 'cooldown' on sundays and tried to keep my average speed above 25mph in hilly Maryland. I ran cross country, was rarely winded after the 3.5 mile course. Ran two triathelons in Maryland/Ocean City, a few biathelons and one marathon. Except for swimming, I did reasonably well. I just wanted to say I had -- although I did have dreams of running the Iron Man.
Since falling into a sedentary lifestyle, my pulse sits around 65 resting and I get winded watching other people work out. haha.
I don't think I had any abnormal heart, but, on his 34 mile run yesterday, he averaged 28.8mph. If I hadn't been riding a heavy bike, and had the slick skins and aerodynamic helmets and stuff, I could have competed with him.
