    I don't agree, I am seeded in @. My seeding was based on the tour de ppa of 2018. It was also the last race I trained for.I don't worry about it, because I will start in 1g with a friend on our gravel grinders.

    I think the more expensive garmin range might be more accurate. I do agree that the wrist hr is much more convenient.

    My wife has a garmin fr 30 and I have a garmin strap with my bryton 530. If I wear both at the same time, the garmin fr give me as much as 20bpm more than the plain old strap and that is when I am sitting on the couch. I am not sold on the wrist accuracy.

    I think people just do not care anymore. A few years back the ctct entry system was like a cwc black friday sale. Everyone waiting anxiously for it to open and within an few moments sold out. I was not planning on riding and a friend said that we must try it on our gravel grinders. Saturday I went online and was surprised to see the entries was still open. I think the cancelation of 2017 have a big role in this.

    Where can I look for a two oseans half marathon entry for substitute. Any running sites like the hub out there?

    Heart rate is not necessary. I only asked about heart rate, because the suunto came with a strap and I wanted to know if it would be compatible with my ant+ bike computer (bryton 530). I did my first and only safari half marathon in 2016. I trained for it and did a 1h31min. During the event I also did a 19.30 5km. I currently do the local parkrun constantly around 20 min. My PB is 19.40 for this run. As I said, this is done from my cycling fitness. It is all offroad. I believe that with some decent training I can do a sub 18min. I have got a program from a friend who is a runner and it involves a lot of interval training. For that I need a watch to show me my pace. I do not expect to accomplish this in a month or so, but it is a goal for this year.

    Sorry guys, did not want to offend anyone. What I meant was that I do not run regularly. I run on my cycling fitness. I did once train for a half marathon, but that was it. I have a bad knee and to much running causes pain. If I run 5k I am able to do it full blast for the whole distance. So I am more a sprinter than a runner.

    Heart rate is not essential. The 3 metrics is. The suunto I can get for R800 (a friends and in vood condition) and there is also a garmin forerunner 210 available for R900. As I said in the post above, it is only a once of traing program. After that I wont be needing it anymore.

    Way above my budget, I am a cyclist, not a runner! I have a bet with a friend that I can do the local parkrun under 18 minutes, so this will be a once of training program. I cant fork out that amount for running.

    It is purely based on price. I have no idea how the others work. If I buy something with a heart rate strap, it must be ant+ so that it could work with my bike gps. After reading the reviews I see that the strap that comes with the suunto does not have ant+, but the watch is still compatible with other ant+ straps. I always run with my phone, but I now have a training program with intervals and I will have to constantly adapt my pace. I need something basic that wont break the bank. What would you recommend?

    Hi guys, can someone please assist me. Does Suunto ambit 2 heart rate monitor work with ant+? Is it a decent watch? I need a watch that will show me pace distance and time o the same screen all at once. Will it be a good one to start of with. I can get one for a good price. Thanks

    They are the worst. If you buy a digital download, you get a un edited pic. I mean, for the price they could ad some basic editing.

    If you are on a mountain bike, greet them. On a road bike just stare straight ahead. They understand.

    Ek dink my bergfiets kan dalk n bietjie stof vergader. Ek is mal oor dit.
