Okay, okay, I'm tired of arguing weight with Aquageek and company...and Centaur brought up a very neat idea.
So answer me this, if you're so inclined to: What's your resting heartrate? There are a few who say theirs is below 55, and some who say it's right around 60.
To try and get a slightly less askew measurement, try taking it while you're sitting right here, reading this. Hopefully, you're on the computer during the day, either at work (shame on you for being on the boards at work!) or at home (I won't question that), or somewhere, and you sit down for a few minutes at least. Take your heartrate, and answer the poll, and we'll see what we come up with.
I'd start by telling you mine, but I had an asthma attack this morning, and as a result, my resting heart rate is higher, around 68 bpm's. Typically, it's 54. Stupid asthma. Makes me feel like I've been hit by a truck. :(

I think it would be interesting to possibly do a discussion on swimmers with thyroid disease....though we may just bore people out of their minds, lol.
Craig's right: we really are all a bunch of sickies! I absolutely shudder to think how bad (or in the case of my asthma, better) my conditions would be if I wasn't as active as I am.
Also, as the poll thread-starter, I have to say 51 votes is TERRIBLE! I know there's more people who look at this than just 51! Come on! Do you not have heartbeats? Lol.
