    What Heart Rate monitor do you use?

    Just wondering what HRM you use. I use the polar 510 (with cycling functions). Easy to use, but I don't use most of the functions. Great to set up training zones and have it beep when you are either above or below.

    Is that a good thing? Maybe its an omen! I have a shark and dive flag tattoo on my right leg, it's Hammerhead migrating season here in the VI and I have a 3 mile open ocean swim between islands (read: deep water) planned for Saturday. :)

    I use the powerful Polar s625x. That is the greatest heart rate monitor I have ever seen. It gives speed and distance in running, which is very helpful for training (especially for outdoor workout). It is very expensive (400 € in Europe, 350 $ in US) but I think it is a good investment for a regular practice especially for triathlon since it can be used for all the three sports.

    In race, you have just to push a button to switch from one sport to the next one. At the end you have one file per sport that you can analyse with the Polar software and also calculate the transition times (by substraction). Very very nice HRM.

    Timex. Speed and Distance too. Never had a problem. That switching sports function sounds pretty cool.

    The HRM does need frequent battery replacement, but the watch has lots of useful functions.
