some thoughts:
  • avg. resting hr is higher than I expected
  • Backstedt's 216??
  • thought someone might have a resting hr under 30(hell, mine's 33 - which, of course means exactly jack)
  • 154 is right about what I would have guessed for an avg. weight

I don't think the average resting HR is that high. My Guess is that most riders were nervous, and that pushes your HR right up.

The average height seems pretty high though. I thought cyclists were short?

Yeah, I'm sure they didn't measure it just after they woke up which is the best time.
