In the attempts to get a med cert from my cardio for another event (not the one which I have seem to made up my mind Ill dnf haha di na natuto!) I had a stress test and what I thought Id hopefully finish (according to my age category) which I just reached level 5 (its up to 6 levels) although I reached my target heart rate (according to the attending physician) I cant help but think that my doc wanted me to reach level 6 to prove I am fit enough to tackle the supposed events challenge. Imagine starting on speed 5 in a treadmill , slowly going to speed 8, with incline! Within 15 mins. no stopping. When I got to level 5 my breathing was so labored and my sweat was pouring I was thinking I think, I can do level 6... just 3 mins!.... no, wait, my hearts gonna pop out any moment... no I cant! haha my heart skipped to 200 beats per minute (just abrupt, thats the same level when I have palpitations and Im sprinting at the same time) if I wanted to go for level 6 I had to maintain 200 for 3 minutes, which Im sure would cause me to faint. haha Ill only find out my docs response to my heart quiz next week. Good luck to me.
