Re: [RC] Was NC etc, now HRMs - Nancy Sturm

Yeah - we came upon someone running a chain saw to clear trail and the
heart monitor spiked to 200 on a very phlegmatic (resting HR 28) pony I
ride sometimes.  It had come loose at the girth.  My mentor says she is not
as concerned with how high the heart rate gets (in the 170-180) range as
she is about how quickly it backs off.  Do others agree?

so true - but wow I would find myself backing off well before 224. Am I

OK, I have to tell a funny story here.  I was vetting at the finish of a
ride several years back when a rider who had been in the back of the Top
Ten but had seemed to have a fairly easy day of it came rushing up to me
after crossing the finish line, in a big panic because as she was coming
into camp, the reading on her HRM had jumped up to 158/159.  And then
after she dismounted, it jumped up to 200!  Boy howdy, was she in a panic!
 I ran over with my stethoscope--horse did not appear to be stressed, and
indeed, was at about 64 and dropping quickly.  About that time, she
discovered that she had accidentally hit the button on her fancy new HRM
that switched it to the "time" mode--and it was actually 2:00 pm....  <g>
