Highest HR = 171 on all out run and on all out bike effort on trainer. Never could get an accurate reading in the pool on the HRM, and can't count accurately at that fast of an HR. That is the one big thing I learned from using an HRM, i.e. that I can't accurately count my HR at much over 120.
While 171 is low compared to the predictions, since RHR is pretty low I still have a pretty big range, i.e if we take my absolute max = 175, then 175/35 = 5.0. This would be same as 200/40 = 5.0, or at least that's the way I've always thought about it.
For whatever it's worth, I'm 57 now and first started monitoring my RHR in 1979 at age 24, and got the HRM in 1992. My RHR and Max HR have not changed at all over the years, although I am a tad slower in the pool and on the road:)
I've been swimming Masters since 1980 but only rarely log onto these forums. I've been biking and running and doing tri's since 1986.
