I've seen some threads recently on HRMs and whatnot, but wanted to check with the knowledge-base on this forum before picking up a new one. My wife's HRM was destroyed - neither of my dogs have fessed up but one of them did it. So, I'm looking to get her a new one for her birthday. www.theorangedog.net skills>> spirits>> speed>>

Hello,

Has anyone else had their heart rate monitor just up and quite on them? I changed the battery in mine and now it won't work at all. It won't pick up any readings what so ever. Its been 3 weeks and I have tried everything (including what Garmin says to do to troubleshoot the unit). Before I give up and send it to the company for repair and an $80 fee I wanted to see if anyone had a fix.

I want to get a new watch/monitor and I am looking at the Garmin 405 and the Polar RS800, both with a GPS. Both are relatively new, so I want to know if you have any experience with them and can help me make a decision. I have a Polar CS200 on the bike and I also have to consider if I could use the same strap for this monitor and the Garmin 405 when I get off the bike. ¿Any Ideas?

Ogden, UT—April 22, 2008— Adding to its already prominent list of ambassadors, Suunto USA has signed World Champion triathlete and Olympian Andy Potts to a sponsorship agreement. Potts was a decorated collegiate swimmer and after only two years in triathlon competition, earned a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team.

I wanted to run this by some of you pros out there- I'm a beginner, ran my first Olympic last summer in Chicago, and was hooked. Now training for Steelhead half IM this August. I've always been more of a runner- run a couple marathons, but only now am I starting to train smarter and more efficiently- at least I think I am.

I'm looking to buy a HRM that i can use on my bike and run......all I really want is for the stupid thing to beep if my hr gets to low or too high any suggestions, the cheapest i've found so far is a nike something (triax8 or c8 or something like that) and it's like 119 bucks at sports authority im hoping there's a cheaper option out there I am also hoping you all know what that option is......thanks for the help all It is better to hurt from doing something than from doing nothing...
