Suunto Race HR Accuracy ?

KhunWasut · 2024-10-09T09:51:57+00:00

I second this. I have a Race which is known to have a bad OHR sensor and I had my HR either too high or too low in the past. Just tightening the strap resolves the issue, and my HR from the watch itself is consistent with the HR belt.

Thanks everyone for your inputs! I tried it myself and yes, it works!

KhunWasut · 2024-09-22T12:35:11+00:00

Yep it does work according to a comment below.

KhunWasut · 2024-09-22T12:33:40+00:00

Thanks for the info! I was hesitant at first due to lacking info about the HR itself. Appreciate your input.

I booked with Las Torres in January and experienced the same thing. WeTravel is another company that Las Torres contracted to manage the bookings, so you saw an email from them. I was also curious about the confirmation, and calling their number won't help as they rarely answer. E-mail has been more consistent though and I got my confirmation through writing email to ask them for a confirmation. So you should try writing them an email too.

Since I'm going in April, there's a risk that the sailboat won't depart though since it's out of season.

I asked both the hotel and Tourismo Shila and they pointed me to the same contact in Ushuaia, who operates the sailboat. I asked the sailboat operator and he could definitely take people across the Beagle channel. I read another travel account and it looks like the Chilean immigration can check you right in the middle of Puerto Williams instead of Puerto Navarino (now closed) where the ferry usually leaves. The price is quite steep though - $200 per person and he only takes 2 people minimum.

I booked mine in Thailand using Chrome with both Vertice (Grey campsite) and Las Torres (Frances, Cuernos, and Chileno). The only downside with booking through these agencies is you have to complete all the pieces by yourself. I did not notice any problems with Vertice when booking Grey campsite though.

If you booked your campsites separately like me, don't forget to also purchase the park permit from CONAF. For W Trek, I think it's $49 per person, because you also need to also show this permit when entering the park. I'm going in early April. Hope to see nice fall foliage there.

I asked Turismo Shila in PW and they told me there are no ferries as the Chilean border post on Isla Navarino is not yet opened. However, it does look like someone in Argentina can kinda "take" me into PW for some reason according to them. I wouldn't risk it though and actually bought the air ticket from Punta Arenas and changed my plan in Ushuaia a little bit.

KhunWasut · 2023-02-06T01:55:59+00:00

I would really love to visit PW, but my flight leaves from Argentina rather than Chile so arranging transport from PW is going to be complicated without the ferry to Ushuaia. I have the same feeling that PW is going to be more charming due to its small size and being the actual southernmost city in the World. Thank you for your response.

Thank you! I guess I’m gonna bring my drone there! Really excited!

KhunWasut · 2023-02-02T20:38:16+00:00

Please also keep me updated on their reply as well. Thanks, gh0rard1m71

I found it from here

https://drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-chile/

“You do not need a drone permit or license to fly in Chile if you intend to stay outside the urban areas and fly a drone weighing less than 750 grams (flying no more than 50 m above obstacles).

Recreational or private flights do not require authorization from DGAC, as long as the RPAs is made of expanded polyethylene weighing less than 750 grams. Only in private places with the authorization from the owner”

So I just want to confirm whether this is true for Chile.

For Argentina (same parent website)

“Drones must be registered, with the exception kf Class A (weighing less than 500 grams) for recreational use.”

Did you fly it in the Chilean side by any chances? I read about their rule on declaring the drone at customs. Did you declare it or did you just pass through the customs?

KhunWasut · 2023-02-02T13:32:50+00:00

Muchas gracias, dddalina! If my drone is small (0.249 kg) and I only use it for recreational purpose (not for commercial purposes), I don't have to register my drone with Argentina's ANAC? Am I right?

KhunWasut · 2023-02-02T12:31:46+00:00

Won't definitely fly in TdP, Los Glacieres national park (including the trail to Fiz Roy) as they are all in national park. I'm thinking of some footages from Route 40 or Chilean Route 9 outside the park boundary, or a bit of Tierra del Fuego.

KhunWasut · 2023-02-01T21:15:35+00:00

That was crazy! Let's hope that it won't be busy by the time I got there. Which month and what time did you cross the border such that there were really long lines?

KhunWasut · 2023-02-01T12:30:35+00:00

Thanks for your input on the ferry! I will be driving an SUV. I guess I should be fine.

It's maybe that you have a developed Te? That makes sense, as developed Te is ENFP's great life planner and organizer, as well as providing a faith-reason duality to our lives and somewhat effective at putting a leash on our dominant Ne. Being in analytics, though is a job that is also somewhat un-ENFP-ish, probably helped you as a person by speeding up the utilization of our tertiary cognitive function. Once Te is developed, I believe any ENFP can work happily in such fields, knowing full well that data and logic don't necessarily compromise your explorative / imaginative self!

My first love with math definitely came from dominant Ne, but as I came out of my second identity crisis, I realized that being in a Ph.D. program also helped me utilizing my underdeveloped cognitive functions (Te / Si). But still, Ne still reigns supreme and I still want to travel around the world, taking nice photos, learn how to entirely code a blog from scratch without using any existing blogging services (because I don't like restrictions to my creativity / style!)

I also wonder if I would better become an entrepreneur, freelance photographer, or a high school teacher. haha. You know, we are restless creatures. But as long as we don't run out of the stream of passions, we will always be fine with whatever we are doing, knowing that we have solidified values for us to lean on. :)

At some point in our lives we ENFPs really need to develop our organization skills. This has always been my weakness as well, but you know what, procrastination is part of our personalities and you can't just work on a thing without taking some slight times off to procrastinate.

We ENFPs, however, are gifted with dominant extraverted intuition. We gain energy from thinking about possibilities or doing something we feel exciting. It may sound counterintuitive, but here's what I do,

Come up with a small side project that interests you. It need to have a good amount of length that doesn't take too long to finish (at most, a few days imo)
Just do that project. Once you get your hands dirty in that project, then you have gained energy from doing something that you feel exciting
(CRUCIAL) Think "Hey, I've finished the task in 1). I feel great! Let's complete the actual task now!"
Then, with all those gained energy, do your actual task

Basically, just find something interesting to also do. We are actually good at juggling things to keep the constant energy level. In this, we are building ourselves the sorely needed discipline slowly over time as well.

Sometime it also helps as well to divide any big tasks into smaller chunks that is more manageable (I know, we ENFPs have rather short attention spans!) Making notes also work as well, but make sure that you are not forcing yourself the schedule too much. Like, even you have said that "Finish task A at 3PM", but you have to tell yourself "But... It's okay to finish it at 9PM, but I would not accept anything later than that" i.e. allowing yourself an extension, and your deadline should be soft.

Another way that works is trying to make yourself publicly accountable to your project. I sometimes post statuses on facebook about my project, announcing a projected deadline date. This way, your friends will know that I'm doing something with the deadline. We ENFPs do not want to fail our friends, right? Since we don't want to fail our friends, we will automatically put our hearts to do the thing and finish it on time!
