Tour de France: Lance’s Stage One Heart Rate
Independent Sources is proud to bring you our special coverage of the 2005 Tour de France.
You already have heard about Lance’s amazing Stage One performance. Today, in discussing it, Armstrong’s training coach Chris Carmichael reported that Lance’s average heart rate during the stage was 184 bpm. Most people, could not get their heart rate to peak at that level. Equally amazing was Carmichael’s reporting that Lance’s resting heart rate is 32 bpm. Once again, a heart rate that most people could only achieve in a coma.

Back when I was a kid, we would attach a playing card to our bikes using a wooden clothespin. The spokes hitting the playing card recreated the sputtering sounds of a Vespa. I am reminded of that now as I watch the tour run through French villages where clothes are still hung out to dry in the warm summer breeze. It is a quaint site, yet I suppose if my neighbors here in America hung their laundry out to dry, petitions would be signed and ordinances would be uncovered that ban such bourgeois behavior. Why is that? And why was I always able to find a clothespin as a kid, even though we didn’t have a clothesline?

Good point. I offer this corolary. I rented a chateau in St. Epheys one summer. Every morning I enjoyed the charming sound of a nearby rooster heralding the coming daybreak. However, were one of my neighbors back home to get a rooster, he would soon be hauled into court for harboring such a nuisance. Regardless, Ivan Basso is still overrated.
