You might say that a higher heart rate is a 'punier' heart rate.
I remember looking at Flecha's HRM data from the tour last year, and his heart rate was incredibly low even during high wattage efforts.
The point is that heart rate can only be used and understood in the context of an individual's parameters. It is pointless to compare your absolute heart rate against someone else's.
