Normal resting heart rate?

I'm 23. I just took my pulse and I'm at 64 bpm.

How normal is that?

Wiki says between 60-100 is normal, but I don't always trust it. Is there a better description of what a good resting heart rate is, a bad one, and a great one, etc?

I know someone will probably post armstrong's 35bpm resting heart rate.

:)

Oh, I did just drink a big cup of coffee which I'm sure has raised my heart rate a bit.

I guess your heart is just bigger than mine :(

From what I recall, ~70 is the average.

So I guess I'm below average and not so bad, especially considering I just had coffee.
