Re: [Paddlewise] calories

hi Larry K,

i also use a speedtech knotmeter and find that it is very useful for seeing
speed into wind and current,
where my senses are usually not very reliable.

a heart rate monitor is useful to see how much effort i'm exerting while
paddling.

i record the heart rate monitor info using a Pulsechek heart rate data
recorder.
it allows me to download  to a PC...
      thus comparisons of workouts and progress (or lack of progress) can be
evaluated.
