Heart rate monitoring is an amazing tool for training and measuring your recovery, signs of overtraining etc but as Scott said in a race the only thing that matters is your time/place, if your HR average was 170 in one race then then 164 the next race its a non issue really, if there is a big difference in HR (assuming a similar length race) it could be that you are fatigued going into the race.
