Introducing the Mi-Sport VRS Race Computer

This patent pending device is a fantastic motivator and great accessory for many training scenarios. The VRS is wrist worn or cycle mounted and allows the user to race against or be paced by a virtual athlete. It can be used for running, cycling, rowing or swimming. The screen displays the virtual competitor`s distance in miles, kilometers or lengths of the pool and race parameters can be set to any standard – just starting out or the world`s best.

Because the VRS does not rely on GPS it can be used indoors as well as outdoors, making it perfect for indoor turbo trainers, rowing machines, gym bikes, running machines and track running. The VRS computer is especially unique for swimmers. Triathletes can even set the race for a “3 discipline race”.

Triathletes and Swimmers

For triathlon, the user would simply press the FINISH button after each discipline. Your time would be displayed and then would return to displaying the virtual athlete`s progress. If for example, the athlete is ahead of you and finishes discipline 2 before you have, the screen will flash to alert you. Or you may be already on discipline 3, but the athlete`s closing in. In “Race Mode” there is a variable speed profile and unknow exact finish time between the parameters you have set. Your split times and overall time are displayed at the finish. For swimming, the distance covered by the virtual athlete is measured in lengths which can be 25 meters, 50 meters or 25 yards.

The Race is on

The VRS computer is based on the idea that in many situations GPS is not needed to measure distance and speed. Running machines have these parameters displayed, as do gym bikes. Cyclists usually have cycle computers of some sort already to measure distance and speed. The VRS therefore displays the progress of the virtual athlete and the user compares this to their own progress on their own measuring device. For swimming, a swimmer knows themselves how many lengths they have completed and can therefore compare their progress against the virtual athlete`s progress.

The Mi-Sport VRS can be used as a pacemaker or act as a race competitor. In either mode the VRS acts as a great training aid and adds a new dimension to your sessions. Many of us can squeeze that little extra out of ourselves once the competitive element kicks in. The VRS creates this in training. Rather than analyse performance post workout, the VRS tries to get a better performance out of us during the workout.

A version is also available for non swimmers – the Mi-Sport VRX, which works similarly but just for cyclists, rowers and runners.
