I don't think it's a matter of lacking swimming skill, since I'm *definitely* not a better skilled runner than swimmer. One of the major differences is that when swimming, you are horizontal, so your heart isn't fighting gravity to get your blood to and from your limbs. The hydrostatic pressure is another factor as well. In general, what the exercise physiologists tell triathletes is that your bike max heart rate will be about 5 bmp lower than your run max heart rate (due to being slightly less vertical), and your swim heart rate is yet another 8-10 bpm lower than that. Looks like you are pretty close to in line with that.<br /><br /><br /><br />Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974235202743391870noreply@blogger.com
