Heart rate whilst driving an RC model car
 

‎12th Scale National at Chesterfield today.
----------------------------------------
For my final I had a heart rate monitor on from my Garmin cycle computer. I started the timer at 8 mins before my final and stopped it after I marshalled. Here's the graph the software produces, 157bpm, eeeeek during the race.

Need to see the results to se if I can pin point when it was

That heart rate is something I see whilst giving it go on the pushbike or on a climb. Didn't expect to see it up there from driving a model car.

I had to stop drinking caffeine because mine was doing stuff like that... even when I wasn't racing :o I noticed when I was on the rostrum it would start to quicken, it even did it when I was playing racing games around a mates on his Xbox.

After cutting out coffee I'm better but not calm enough still, adrenaline rush I guess, and probably why so many of us enjoy this so much and get such a buzz from it.

Only coffee I had was 05:30 before setting off for the meeting. During the day I had black tea and mineral water.

It was an intense final as from 3rd I was rear ended on the 1st corner then got back to 5th by the end. Did have a few incidents on the way back through the field though

Was that spike where we we swapping places Glenn. It was a good race!! :thumbsup:

Tea is full of caffeine too.

Spike, need to look at the lap times to see if it's were we traded paint, or I may just have a heart condition :woot:

enjoyed the aftermath just as much;), even if I could get to your bumper I couldn't make it past, well done.
