Nike Triax C8 HR Monitor

I guess it was time for me to finally give in and get a new watch. I ended up with this purchase and so far satisfied with with only one "test run" so far. It has a large display indiglo if you run/ride in the dark like me, it shows the HR at the top and the time at the bottom "good for intervals" and then it has the average HR being able to save a total of 50 laps, which I think already is too many since I most likely will reset it after each use since I have bikejournal and coolrunning depending on my exercise for the day. Oh yeah... and the price is pretty reasonable in my opinion. I have to thank Allez for pushing me to get the new HRM.

Lately I have been slacking off, because of everything that I am trying to balance with the full time job, and school full time. So I "think" that I will try to focus on running more right now since it is a "faster" workout. But we will see how that plays out! :)

Plpease let your readers know how you like the Triax HR. I am thinking about getting one soon and would love to hear what you think. I will be using it more for mountain biking than roadbiking/triathalons, plus some running. Not too much lap-swimming, but will be taking it in the ocean when surfing. Have you tried it out under a wet-suit? Work ok?

I posted about the Triax here: http://www.thisnext.com/blog/2006/05/train_better_nike_triax_heart/

thx
