I'm athlete,great shape. hr hovers in 140-150's for 20-25 min after exercising. hr reaches 205-207 exercising. i'm hydrated.why does it stay so high?

These heart rates: are unexpected in a trained athlete. Have they been confirmed electrocardiographically or is this a finger or pulse ox monitor giving you the readings? First confirm these high rates are "real" then if so seek evaluation as they may represent a treatable arrhythmia rather than normal for you.
