If it was near the beginning of the race, I'd almost certainly think it was just a spike with the circuits going crazy (not properly conductive if you weren't sweating a lot yet, etc) - it could still be a bad reading or it just might mean you were working your ass off at that point. Were you going uphill there?

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
Yeah, absolutely. I'm 40, and I often get spurts in the 180s if I'm really booking, so I suspect I could get over 190. Congrats on the PR -- and enjoy those well deserved beers! (I note you said you were going to get "a beer," but I thought I'd make that plural for you)
De-slacking in progress
started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
Can't wait for the day when I can run hard and my HR registers a lot lower number
go Care Bear go!
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
