Day 143 - Bike Computer/Heart Rate Monitor

I bought a bike computer and heart rate monitor earlier in the week. I had resisted buying one and relied on my feeback and perceived rate of effort. But I finally broke down and bought a Sigma 1706 bike computer/heart rate monitor on eBay. Part of the reason to buy it was to get more accurate feedback on my heart rate so I can train better. Another reason was to keep track of the miles that I am putting on my bike. The Sigma 1706 tracks speed, heart rate, miles, time elapased, and a bunch of other things. I was excited when I got it in the mail on Friday evening. Spent the evening setting it up, positioning the sensor and wheel magnet correctly, and learning how to use it. I can't wait to take it out for a spin this weekend.
