All,

It is that time of year again. Last year we added the use of Heart Rate
Training to our winter training program. It worked really well. We will be
using HR once again. I am looking for those that are interested in getting
one. I need to come short of requiring them. I feel that they are an
invaluable piece that allows both the coaches and athletes to see for
themselves how hard they are working. But they NOT REQUIRED. This allows the
individual athletes set the pace that will give them the best workout based
on individual response to the workout.

I have found yet another good source to get the HR Monitors. They will cost
$38 to $30 depending on how many we purchase. I am also working with George
Kirschbaum of West Springfield to hopefully get the biggest price break we
can.

Please let me know if you would like to purchase a Polar F1(basic model, HR
only). If you want another model and you get more then 6 people I can get a
better price for that as well. But I am only focusing on the Polar F1 model.
It will come along with a watch that will display the HR and a chest strap.

If you have any questions about HR Training please let me know. I am willing
to bring anyone up to speed on it. It truly is the only way to train.
