    Lions,



    To be honest I probably wouldn't bother with using HR during a race, other than to monitor for interest. Pre race anxiety is likely to increase your HR anyway and if you try to pace your race accordingly it is likely to affect your performance.

    Boycie is correct, just race it and then look at the data afterwards. Record it and use it to work out your next raft of training.
