A bit off the OP question, but what about for an Olympic or longer race?
I don't wear an HRM during sprints, but I did during an Olympic race because I was worried about burning out on the bike. I feel like I didn't push hard enough on the bike, but I was sure tapped out by the end of the run.
In a sprint, I feel that it is optional. If you feel more comfortable using one, then go ahead.
In Olympic and HIM distances, I definitely use mine to help with pacing.
I tend to go too hard on the bike since it's my best discipline. |
