All the cool kids have one

A heart rate monitor! I am slowly but inexorably being sucked into the vortex of training toys. I blame Wes and Misty. I'm sure it will make all the difference once I work out how to make it stop telling me I'm dead.

UPDATE: OMG I am TURTLEY in love with this thing! How fun is it to know that you ARE working hard enough - but not too hard? So much information! So much beeping!UPDATE: Yesterday I finally got around to installing the bike computer I got for my birthday (clearly I was temporarily possessed by the spirit of some mechanically-capable person).
WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

My HRM always says i'm dead, sometimes I even believe it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of HRM's. I use mine all the time. I just wish I could use it in the pool

Kathy said...

oh the world of triathlon toys - it never ends.....

You are now officially going to be be BROKE forever!!! Plus, when you go to the mall, the only shops you will want to go to are the sports shops! I don't think I can remeber the last time I bought something from a normal clothing shop! Needless to say, I'm not very fashionable right now, but in triathlon, I gots me the gears....

I love my garmin (with heart rate). I am a real stats person. I don't religiously follow it, but it is nice to see why a workout felt hard. (HR was high).

Try wearing the HRM to sleep... It's fun! Might make for some even more fun with the spousal unit! Hee hee hee
