Subject: RE: Garmin 305 heart rate strap waterproof?Like others, I just: 1 ) Swim: Have the HR strap under my tri suit/top. Despite what someone received from Garmin support above - both the classic and premium HR straps are indeed waterproof. It's just that neither will successfully transmit HR while underwater (it goes about 2-3 ). 2 ) Bike: Once I get on the bike, the HR strap is instantly picked up (it's pre-paired of course ) and then the Garmin is ready to go. I leave the Garmin on my bike. If you're afraid of someone nabbing it - just toss it in your bike shoes with your bib over it - problem solved. 3 ) Run: Once transition to run is complete, it's still on me with my HR monitor still ticking away. Super simple. I did write up a post last year for how to race with your Garmin - may be of interest. In some ways I wrote way more in depth than just above, but if you boil down all my rambling, it's essentially just the three steps above.  |
