Heart Rate Traditional Cache
Ian's Dad: I have no way to replace this one exactly as it was done before. It was very cleverly designed and I am not as gifted as dyrtjunkie when it comes to craftsmanship and design. Going to put this one to rest so that someone else can place a cache of their very own out there.

This chase will include a brief walk (or run). When you get to the cache, check your heart rate and be sure to include it in the log. (example 120 BPM (beats per minute))You should always keep a mental record of your average heart rate as well. Enjoy the view.
Your heart rate can be taken at any spot on the body at which an artery is close to the surface and a pulse can be felt. The most common places to measure heart rate using the palpation method is at the wrist (radial artery) and the neck (carotid artery).
You should always use your fingers to take a pulse, not your thumb, particularly when recording someone else's pulse, as you can sometimes feel your own pulse through your thumb.
Measuring Heart RateCarotid Pulse (neck) - To take your heart rate at the neck, place your first two fingers on either side of the neck. Be careful not too press to hard, then count the number of beats for a minute.
Radial Pulse (wrist) - place your index and middle fingers together on the opposite wrist, about 1/2 inch on the inside of the joint, in line with the index finger. Once you find a pulse, count the number of beats you feel within a one minute period.
You can estimate the per minute rate by counting over 10 seconds and multiplying this figure by 6, or count over 15 seconds and multiply by 4, or over 30 seconds and doubling the result. There are obvious potential errors by using this shorthand method. If you have a heart rate monitor, this will usually give you a more accurate reading.
