Garmin Forerunner — More Than Just a Watch
Garmin: What
made you think to record your heart rate data on the jump?
Jeorge: When I bungee
jumped in New Zealand last year I remember getting an adrenaline rush but after
I jumped my legs were wobbly when they reeled me back up to the Aukland
Bridge. I wanted to measure that feeling somehow. But sky diving and
bungee jumping are different feelings. I thought, why not see how my heart rate looks as I track it doing other activities.
Garmin: What
other things do you do with your Forerunner 405 ?
Jeorge: Running
– I rarely run without my 405. Gym
– when I used to be a member of a gym I would take classes and I loved to
use the 405 w/ my HRM to see how high my heart rate got in the class. For
‘circuit’ classes my heart rate got pretty high. Snowboarding – because sometimes I swear
I’m going really fast but when I measured it I was only going 17mph, which for
a boarder isn’t really that fast! ha Hiking – mainly to track the
elevation to see how high we are. International travel – I like
the maps in Garmin Connect after uploading the recorded route I took. Especially in the remote areas.
Garmin: Do
you monitor your heart rate in all the activities you do? 
Jeorge: Not all.
Only where I think heart rate info would be revealing. So hiking in
high elevation would reveal how well I handle exerting myself when the air is
thinner. For marathon training, I use the HRM when I do speed work, run
intervals, or run hills. Of course it I had the version of the watch that calculates
calories based on HR, I would wear it all the time I run (hope to upgrade soon! Maybe a 910XT or fēnix).
Garmin: Do
you plan to jump again?
Jeorge: Oh yeah! Not sure when though.
