Re: [RC] Heart Monitor - Belt vs. Electrodes - Keith KiblerSharon Levasseur wrote:Okay, after having alot of experiance using heart rate moniters on myself, I have started using them on one of my horses that I am trying to get ready for endurance. It is the type that is wireless and has a "sending unit" that has a signal picked up by the receiver on my wrist. So, with my horse wired for heartrate at my left wrist and a wrist mounted gps on my right wrist I can try working on my ability to trail ride while not looking ahead at all. :-}I've got the belt system, had it for about 2-3 years. Worked great at first (as long as I got it in exactly the right spot) but now I find it's inaccurate more often than it's accurate. That is, we trot along at 36 or 0 or 250... none of which can possibly be right... more often than we do at 85. Recently I haven't bothered to use it at all. Not sure what happened. My experiance last week was just like yours, mid 30 heart rate, then 177 then 80. What the heck? Where is the best place to have the sending unit get its pulse? thanks Keith What place on the horse =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
