Re: What is the perfect HRM for triathalon??

I have a Bodylink system with GPS and data recorder - this gives you pretty
much all you need - its first gen GPS so I think the new stuff is
considerably better especially as it has a 3D GPS chip in it giving you
altitude as well.

the data recorder records all info every 2 secs but personally I dont use it
much except for TT's and similar stuff. Best thing is though is its digital
so once its locked in on your HR monitor you don't need to worry about
interference from other units - something i had problems with with my polar.

What I like about it best is when I don't need a HRM, I just leave the
strap
off and it still makes a very respectible watch - one that I'm familiar

too.

If the Timex Ironman HRM is as reliable and useful as their watches,
that's a great recommendation. I don't use a HRM anymore (kept slowing
me down) but I love my watch.

I have the Timex Bodylink system minus the GPS speed and distance
sensor. My only complaint is that it doesn't record your maximum heart
rate during a race or training session. It only records the average for
the lap. It doesn't compute calories burned either, but I don't put
much stock in that feature on heart rate monitors.

I've decided not to add the speed and distance sensor after reading how
thry don't work very well for trail running (too many trees for the
sensor to see the satelites).
