Heart rate monitors

I just obtained a Fitbit Charge HR to monitor my heart rate while rowing. Needless to say it doesn't fit the bill for me as it doesn't display constantly and is inaccurate. I have had the Polar and Omron with chest transducer but they didn't seem to last and I did not think they were that accurate, ...

It gives me a self pat on the back by completing them. I'm sure that's what the C2 founding fathers have in mind. The challenges are great motivatio...

name witheld

Why does a team claim meters rowed in the challenge are by "name withheld"? One team has close to a million meters rowed by phantom rowers.

Re: 2011 Holiday Challenge - Meet the Goal of $30K

Overtraining?

Having gotten back into the erg a week ago from a 9 month layoff and 30 lbs. my split times and/or endurance are getting worse instead of better. Is this a sign of overtraining?
