I've wanted a heart rate monitor to measure effort not only when kayaking
but also during runs, wieght training, and torture sessions on the
Dreadmill.  A Dreadmill is a treadmill for those not into self torture!
8-)  I find it much easier to run trails/street than to get on one of these
things.  But when it is cold out I don't have much choice....

|I bike and XC ski with a heart rate monitor.  162 beats/minute aerobic
|threshold on the bike, 172 on skis.  I figure that the poling costs me 10
|heartbeats.

What is "aerobic threshold?"  Is that maximum heart rate?

|Checked heart rate paddling  cruising speed does only cost about
|10-heartbeats/min over sitting still.  Very efficient.  Same speed on foot
takes about 30 beats over sitting.

I would have guessed that to be the case but its nice to know.

Later...
Dan
