Re: RC: out of camp checks and ride times

If you look at the heart rate walking up a very steep mountain it will
most likely top that of the heart rate galloping on a flat clay road. So
speed per se in not the only issue. I would expect the reason the east may
have more metabolic problems has more to do with ambiant conditions than
any other factor.
