Do you know your hematocrit level?
I get a physical at work every year and just got my results back for 2008.

2007 47.7%
2008 50.0%

I may have been a little dehydrated for the 2008 test as I rode 25kms to the check -up and we weren't allowed to eat or drink before the barium stomach X-rays...

Wonder if I'll go over 50% next year and be accused of using EPO or something...

Would love to get my VO2 Max test done properly....the exercise bike at the gym doesn't give me a very flattering score on the test it does...

45.3 last time I had it checked.

Mine: 46.6

47%. I was psyched to see that #.
