Re: Physical demands of Lemons racing

That was extremely cool.  I love graphs, exercise, and racing, and it your post had all of those things!

120bpm isn't that high at all either, I would have expected something a bit higher.  It'd be really cool to do this for a newb to compare to a relative veteran like you.  I'll bet our 3 first-time-on-track guys this year would have had heart rates well above 120bpm.

I expected it to be higher as well but like I said in the post I was not really pushing very hard and spent the race at 8/10th especially since it was an unfamiliar track. I'm looking forward to retrying the same experiment at Thunderhill where I expect to push harder.

Seeing that the next race is in geek central (aka Thundehill) might that be worth a "get out of jail free" card or two?  wink
