Subject: HRM thinks I'm dead.

I've got a Garmin 301 and for about half my run this evening it had me flatlined, cutting in and out throughout the course of the run.

Now, when this has happened before, it's just been a matter of readjusting the HRM strap and that took care of it for the rest of the run, which did not work tonight.  (And also made it look like I had a rather unnatural obsession with my breasts.  Which I'm sure thrilled the teenaged boys hanging outside tonight.)

Does this sound to anyone else like it's time for a new battery or should I give it a few more runs and see if it was just acting wonky tonight?

Can you prove your not dead?     Just kidding. Check the batteries.

I really would have thought the continued forward motion the GPS was showing would have been proof, but apparently not!

I don't know which one is better... mine confused me with an hamster tonight. Read, 200+ bpm for several minutes

Pics?

...just kidding.

I've noticed that my HRM sometimes goes crazy when I've just pulled my running shirt out of the dryer, I'm guessing because of some residual static charge.  I'd say give it another day or two, and if it still isn't working correctly change out the battery.  I'm not sure how long they last.
