Broke 100k today - broke my Heart Rate Monitor too.

I broke 100kms today. Yee haw! It was a pretty easy ride and I'm starting to get used to the hills. The weather was perfect. I was planning to do the 50k qualifying ride tomorrow with the Bike Rally group but after laying tiles in my friend's basement this afternoon I've decided a nap is in order instead. I'm hoping that in the next couple of weeks that I will break 1000k. Had a bit of a mishap when I did the laundry. I forgot that I had my Heart Rate Monitor in my jersey pocket so it went for a swim. It got filled with water so I took it apart and took a blow dryer to it. It works....sorta. The sound is messed up so uploading my info to my PC doesn't work but it kept all my settings and beloved miles on my legs. I'm thinking of getting it replaced. I never loved the idea of a wireless computer so I may go back to a trusty Cateye and a separate HRM that I can wear like a watch. Pissed away 200$. Damn. Oh well, I was reminded that we are all human and we all make stupid mistakes so I'm not going to dwell on it. Got other more pressing issues to deal with.
