Hi all

Hopefully, you can see this - http://connect.garmin.com/activity/163790953

I'm not very experienced at tracking this sort of data, but what surprised me is that my HR steadily decreased over the race (8 laps of an MTB course). I did nt drink enough and was cramping up something terrible on the penultimate lap and probably am not fit enough to race over that distance/time on a short, relentless, technical course, but even so, usually my HR stays constant or steadily increases over the ride/race/sportive...

Any ideas, am I just obsessing too much or is there something I can change/work on?

Let me have it!
