Eagle Peak Open - Heart Rate on the Temp 13

[Jim J]

During one of the rounds at the Eagle Peak Open I wore my wife's fancy new heart rate monitor with GPS.

Once the data was downloaded, there was a lot of information on the how much energy it took to play the temp 13 holes that the Rebels set up at Willamette Pass.

Turns out I used up over 1100 calories and actually climbed 2400 feet while descending 3800 feet. You can check out the results here (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/9227558).

Amazing how accurate the GPS was. Zoom in with the satellite picture turned on and you can see pretty much ever move I made.

I'll probably use one at Lava Launch and compare the results.

Pretty cool idea to track this kind of info. But, I can see the spot in the middle of the map where you backtracked to go pee in the bushes :laughing::laughing:

Cool on the terrain view

That's really awesome. You can even see where you had to search for a disc.

What was the make/model of the GPS device with heart rate monitor that you used? I am interested in trying this at Crystal Mountain, Washington. Thanks.

This is really intriguing. I played more athletic sports my entire life before coming to disc golf. I have really wondered how many calories I burn on average during a round. It would be cool to check your heart rate in a super intense scenario like during your final putt to win a tourney. I've been there before and my heart was about to jump out of my chest!
