Think about it as an opportunity. Sports Medicine is a very data rich environment.
This provides a very good testing ground for archetypes.

In this situation a heart rate archetype can be specialized for this very specific purpose, and the cadence etc is important part of the context of the observation, being part of a very detailed record relating to exertion, and should be recorded in their health record as state data. I don't see any particular problem with GPS being recorded here as well if it fulfils a specific need. This particular specialization may not end up having international status if not broadly used, but consider that it may be used in all personal health records used by elite cyclists. The ideal is to make archetypes as broadly used as possible to facilitate interoperability, but if they need to be develope for a specific or one-off purpose, or for use within just one healthcare facility, then that is still a valid use of archetypes albeit at the cost of some 'shareability'.
