Beer makes a difference

Or maybe lack of beer:

231.8

RHR = 41

I'm off to run on tired legs. We'll see how that goes.

It went badly:

5K in 29:15; HR Ave = 136. HR erratic and periodically soaring throughout. I took splits at each mile:

Mile 1 = 9:50; HR = 135
Mile 2 = 9:14; HR = 136
Mile 3 = 8:57; HR = 137
Last .1 = 1:02; HR = 137

The averages themselves are unremarkable except that I ran very slowly and my perceived exertion was much lower than that indicated by this data. The spikes to above 200 range were concerning. At my last EKG (18 months ago), the doctor pointed out some benign (according to him) irregularity--like a hitch in the heart beat. I wonder if this is getting picked up? I guess I'll continue to monitor and get it checked out. It's funny that this doesn't happen with rowing or cycling.
