New Toy for my Running

So somehow my TransRockies teammate accidently ordered 2 running computers instead of 1. So i am now the proud owner of a Garmin 310xt GPS watch. I was planning on getting one eventually, but this was just a bit sooner than expected. It was a killer deal though.

Being a GPS device, it tracks both my distance and speed, all of my split times as well as tons of other features. And the best part is after i finish a run, i can download the details to my training log for further analysis. Soon i will also be able to track my Heart rate as well. Then all i will need to do is to figure out what to do with all of the information it gives. In the meantime, it allows me to output my running routes out to Google Earth, so here is whare Gabi and i ran today. Just under 20km in about 2 hours.



The watch was designed for the triathlete in mind, as it is water proof and has some great features for cycling as well. But i am really looking forward to using up on Whistler Mountain this winter, to track how far and how fast i am Skiing Downhill.
