I love to swim sprints in a masters meet but I also have enjoyed doing triathlons. It is very difficult to train for both. I'd love to hear from folks that compete in both masters meets and triathlons to learn how they balance training and competing in both.
Turn in your USMS card, you are now banned!
Um --- some of us wouldn't be able to train for USMS competition if we did not monitor our HR while training. When your heart rate is too high, you can hear the watch beep at you, even underwater.
I have used a Timex/Ironman and it worked pretty well until some water got into it somehow after 8 months of no problems.
It is kind of cool to see what your average HR is over the entire workout and to see how many calories you have burned. When you see a total of 1000 calories burned, you feel o.k. about having dessert after dinner that night.
