IT IS MY OWN LAZY BUTT'S FAULT !

I woke up after five hours of sleep and helped get the wife and kids out of the house.  But instead of heading to the pool afterwards, I took a two hour nap.  By the time I got to the pool there was a small group of people already playing in the water.  I made actual physical contact with someone seven different times.  I found myself losing concentration at times.  I also started out a little fast and really slowed towards the end.

I swam 1 mile to begin with.  I decided to see if I could set a PR.  I did.  Swam 1.02 miles in 30:47.62.  This beat my old time by 1:10.78.  Then swam a relaxed 700 yards with a free and breast mix to end up with 2500 for the day.

2500 - 44:13.35

Weight: 0.00

Congratulations on a PR!

Thanks !

By the way I have a question about heart rates. I have seen you encourage other people to get a monitor. I finally did for my birthday in May. I have only used it on a couple of bike rides though. Not sure what the numbers mean for me yet. But I did want to know how you record your resting heart rate.

1) Take it as soon as you wake up in the morning.

2) While sitting on the couch after reading a book for an hour.

3) While doing a slight activity such as walking from one room to another.

4)Or wear the monitor to bed and let it record as you sleep - which I did for fun last night. My wife thinks I am nuts for doing so.

Any help would be great.

Probably number 4 is the most reliable method. True science sometimes requires doing nutty things.
