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.
Huh? That's nonsensical. It's not like you can't swim without one. A good friend told me he carries his HR monitor with him at all times, his index finger, the ability to count to six and then multiply by 10. Much cheaper.
Hard to use your index finger and take your pulse while you are swimming a 200 fly. No fun when you are on an adrenalin surge to have to stop in the middle of the swim and see what your HR is. All you need to hear is the little beep telling you to slow down, slow down before you blow a fuse.
Try it, guys. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you might look like an "uncool" triathlete. Would the world come to an end? :wiggle:
