Determine the last time an Application Pool recycled

I'm writing a .NET service that monitors application pools. based on specific triggers I'm restarting them. However, I do not want to restart them if the trigger occurred before they were recycled for the last time. How can I know the "last recycle time" of an app pool?

I went down the rabbit hole of looking through the event log and I was able to detect last when an app pool was last recycled but it was very cpu intensive because you have to read logs from the disk. I would highly suggest using 

Process.GetCurrentProcess().StartTime

If the LogEventOnRecycle property is set, you should be able to read this information from the event log using the EventLog Class
