What you can do is use something like SportsTrack to export the data to sportstrack and export. Otherwise the other option I can think of is to get the Polartrainer USB device to stream the data from your HRM to your computer.

You can get workout data (from a logcard) using the Concept2 Utility program.
With RowPro you can get stroke by stroke data.
With PMI (http://concept2.co.uk/software/pmi) you can extract lots of available data from the PM4.

With all three, if you have a HR belt that's picked up by the PM4 you can get HR data (not always in the format you'd expect) included in the workout data.

You'll need to talk to the developer/vendor/support for Polar protrainer 5 to see if they could pull the CSAFE data from the PM4 (there's a published interface and a SDK supplied by Concept2, PMI is just a nice easy way to use that interface) and include it in the stuff they publish for your workout.
