duanelr Posted June 25, 2019 Share What heart rate monitors do you use for tri's? I'm struggling with my Wahoo Tickr. I wore it during my swim at IM70.3 Durban, and it just did not work after that the whole bike and run leg. Edit: I don't care for heart rate data during my swim. I had it on to save time during transitionI use wrist based HR from the suunto spartan. not great but also not bad. Like the freedom of not having a chest strap, (one less thing to forget). takes HR in water (questionable accuracy) but like you pointed out, I also don't care about HR during swim, maybe post race for giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted June 26, 2019 Share Brownlee looking pretty dangerous at a washed out IM Ireland the other day. Kona looking good for a proper race at the front of the guys race.Apart from he struggled on the run which he admitted himself.... so will have to do a lot of work leading up to Kona. Seen quite a few videos of IM Ireland, it was brutal in the cold and rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen quite a few videos of IM Ireland, it was brutal in the cold and rain I didn't know that, I only saw his first 10k split which was hauling along! Good then to see him blow up at the end, nice to know they're human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good then to see him blow up at the end, nice to know they're human"I set off on the run and thought I'm not sure I'm going to do it. I just set into a rhythm and tried to eat up some ground. Until the last 10km I was quite enjoying it, but the last 10km were not fun at all." https://www.bbc.com/sport/triathlon/48742092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted June 26, 2019 Share IM Cork Windmill Hill in the rain, many did not have the power on the wet and slippery road to ride up the hill, so had to walk it (twice).... it was a brutal day with no swim and lashing rain/wind. Heard a few failed to finish due to hypothermia. You can see Brownlee climbing it 35s into the video https://youtu.be/3cDcU7BuWJ4 Edited June 26, 2019 by shaper Justin2 and Chris_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted July 24, 2019 Share Some excellent kit I have just finished reading is "Finding my Voice" by Mike Reilly. This will give you super motivation, well worth every penny and cheap in comparison to the price of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
