Discrepancy in strain scores

Yesterday on a green recovery, I logged a 10.1 strain score for 9 holes of riding golf. Today on a significantly red recovery, I logged 5.0 for 18 holes of riding golf. This is a marked difference from Whoop 4.0. I now have the 5.0 mg. Any similar experiences would be helpful as I am a bit confused at new data I am getting the first week of my mg experience.

Hey @lisafloyd2, my recommendation is to see if this consistently happens. I agree that I would have assumed that you’d see the reverse, particularly if you had a green recovery on day one and a red recovery on day two (and not the other way around) b/c your body would theoretically be working harder. Environmental Factors like temperature, hydration, and stress levels can also affect your heart rate during the same activity… so that could be the culprit here, but I’d recommend seeing if this is a fluke or if this consistently happens. If it consistently happens, I’d recommend contacting support. My gut says that it could have been a fit issue on that day (worn looser than on other days).
