Eb - I have the Garmin tri hrm and it has grippers round the electrodes. Works well.
If you want lots of grip and do not mind no run dynamics the swim one is even stickier

The new version of the Garmin HRM run (similar to the trip) is also significantly better than the old one. Grippier and a damn site more reliable in its reading (i.e. doesn't need to be so damp and not affected from the static due to rubbing of technical tops.
And a lot cheaper than a new watch. However if you want an excuse for C to buy you a new watch...

Oh lots of posts will read them all properly when I'm home tonight thank you all. I'm tempted by the FR 235 but CB has mentioned a HR strap that's goes on upper arm that links with Garmin ant + so would go with my Garmin and connect to phone too. I am more tempted by new watch tho 😉 Lots to look at and think about

You're right PtB, I'm not impressed with the HRM on the Tom Tom multi sport cardio. If it wasn't a prize, I'd ask for my money back.

Probably the Scosche Rhythm+ EB. They are excellent and talk both ANT+ and Bluetooth. I found that I needed to wear it on the same arm as my Garmin or it lost connection though.
If you're interested in tracking heart rate variability though I don't believe any of the optical devices report it properly.

EB. My 235 was delivered only yesterday, but so far seems excellent. I only have small wrists, but the HR data seems fine. You don't feel that sensor even though I wear it tight
The main thing is I now have a screen that I can see without near vision specs on.
But that's only important when you're an old bid like me.

Quick (maybe) question around heart rate and illness.
Two weeks ago I narrowly missed a half mara pb - wasn't expecting to get close, so wasn't concentrating on the numbers. Splits were :
1) 0.03m - 52(29:48/m) 82/97bpm 2cal 2.01/5.07mph
2) 1m - 7:36(7:36/m) 134/140bpm 97cal 7.9/8.37mph
3) 1m - 7:37(7:37/m) 139/141bpm 102cal 7.87/8.14mph
4) 1m - 8:19(8:19/m) 140/148bpm 110cal 7.22/8.33mph (loo stop!)
5) 1m - 7:31(7:31/m) 149/154bpm 108cal 7.99/8.91mph
6) 1m - 7:35(7:35/m) 148/155bpm 107cal 7.91/8.45mph
7) 1m - 7:42(7:42/m) 149/151bpm 108cal 7.8/8.18mph
8) 1m - 7:37(7:37/m) 150/152bpm 108cal 7.88/8.27mph
9) 1m - 7:36(7:36/m) 150/155bpm 106cal 7.9/8.47mph
10) 1m - 7:47(7:47/m) 151/160bpm 108cal 7.71/8.39mph
11) 1m - 7:36(7:36/m) 150/154bpm 105cal 7.9/8.79mph
12) 1m - 7:31(7:31/m) 152/158bpm 105cal 7.97/8.72mph
13) 1m - 7:22(7:22/m) 152/158bpm 101cal 8.15/8.56mph
14) 1m - 7:17(7:17/m) 158/163bpm 106cal 8.23/8.83mph
15) 0.29m - 1:49(6:22/m) 166/171bpm 26cal 9.42/10.96mph
Felt easy all the way through, pushing on towards the end. I had a slight sniffle on the morning of the race, which over the next few days turned to full blown man-flu and followed up with bronchitis... Is there anything I can look for in the stats above that would have indicated I was ill, or on the way.
For comparison, here are the stats from a ParkRun a few weeks prior:
1) 1m - 7:17(7:17/m) 149/159bpm 96cal 8.25/8.91mph
2) 1m - 7:22(7:22/m) 163/168bpm 108cal 8.15/9.75mph
3) 1m - 7:28(7:28/m) 169/173bpm 115cal 8.04/8.87mph
4) 0.1m - 40(6:35/m) 171/172bpm 10cal 9.12/9.46mph
And an easy run from the day before the race:
1) 1m - 9:36(9:36/m) 122/131bpm 97cal 6.25/7.22mph
2) 1m - 10:10(10:10/m) 122/128bpm 100cal 5.91/6.76mph
3) 1m - 10:00(10:00/m) 127/135bpm 103cal 6/7.43mph
4) 1m - 9:34(9:34/m) 125/134bpm 90cal 6.28/7.26mph
5) 1m - 9:53(9:53/m) 124/129bpm 85cal 6.07/7.2mph
6) 0.24m - 2:21(10:01/m) 126/135bpm 21cal 5.99/6.39mph
Hmm, not so quick after all, but thanks in advance, for any light shed

Funnily enough, to me only the stats from the parkrun look off - your HR seems high for the pace, given what you were turning out in the half marathon.
Your resting HR might have indicated that you were sickening for something. It's not a bad idea to check it, since an elevated figure could give you warning that you had a virus - or were overtraining.

The only thing which struck me for the HM was how your HR didn't really go up over the last three miles (until the final dash). I wondered if it might be downhill and looking at your training confirms that (albeit only slightly downhill.)
So my answer would be no.

Have you compared the beats/mile data for the two races? (from the training log entry).
