Certainly was frigid. And it never got warmer. If you were that bad, you never would have hung on once we started with the downhill sections. Just couldn't focus on skiing fast when you're getting more chilled. Get healthy. And wear more stuff next time!

Recover well, sounds like a rough day. At the risk of sounding like a fake fortune cookie, you are due for a good one!

Thanks, and yes I am thinking about more skiing right now, so I might not race but plan to ski some hard days and see if there is still anything wrong.

...My Heart rate went through the roof ...
Man, take a rest day as I suggested yesterday. Tachycardia is serious. Have you taken your blood pressure today?
I think you could be coming down with something. Why not try taking your resting heart rate when you wake up tomorrow morning, before you leave the bed. If it is over 50 your body is fighting something off, and might want to see a doc if things don't improve soon.

Soupbone I hope you post something to give all your adoring fans on a/p an update. Here's another helpful site on irregular heartbeat on WebMD. Use the pull down menu to access lots of good general information articles, plus another website devoted exclusively to atrial fibrillation.
As I found, becoming a "pro-active patient" is absolutely necessary in our modern medical world. In other words, you must educate yourself, and then take charge of your own diagnosis and treatment. That is because (1) you see 5 doctors you will get 5 different diagnoses, and 5 different recommendations, (2) because of malpractice fears, doctors tend to overtreat any condition which can lead to even worse problems and side-effects, and (3) few doctors will provide holistic, or whole-body treatment, including counseling for changes in diet and lifestyle.
As anyone can tell you, bad American diets are responsible for most modern illnesses, including heart disease, cancer and stroke. Those diseases are much less common in poorer cultures where diets are limited and vegetarian, and do not include dairy, refined sugars, processed foods, and our abundance of meats and animal fats. As I commented on Lost & Found this week, I recommend Dr Barry Sears' Zone diet, which vastly controls carbohydrate intake.
