Cardioversion

Cardioversion is a method used to shock the heart out of certain arrhythmias. Typically used for Atrial Fibrillation, its used when the heart rate is accelerating out of control. The shock restores the normal lower HR.
I use this term jokingly however. 1 month ago, my waking HR was consistently in the low 40's. About 2 weeks ago, taken twice during the week, my HR had lowered to 38.
Since last week, this morning was the third time I have taken my waking rate, at 32
My run today? Holding 6:30 pace in zone 1 and 6:15 pace in high zone 3...after a 2000 swim.
So yeah, I call this cardioversion. I have made that critical step in my cardiovascular system I wait for every season. The major drop in my HR as a sign of fitness. I am ready to train.
