The whole exam was about 1 hr, 45 minutes. I wore a Wahoo Tickr chest heart rate monitor and exported the data from the Wahoo app, cleaned it and plotted the graph using the ggplot2 library in R.
This is pretty much exactly what I expect mine would have looked like. Expected to be much more nervous (I'm horribly nervous when giving conference talks), but I settled in pretty quickly. Turns out after 4 years you do sort of know what you're talking about, despite constant and nagging imposter syndrome.

140 is the low end of my ‘fat burning zone’ ! Looks like you settled in there though. Did you pass?!
