Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I can’t quite remember if I’ve blogged about Strava.com before, but if not, I should have. It’s yet another website that allows you to upload your GPS data from cycling and running sessions. You can record this data on a GPS device such as my Garmin Forerunner 910XT or a GPS enabled Mobile such as...
After our visit to the Silver Mountain Experience on Thursday, we pulled out the iPad and decided to test a new (to me) gecoaching app that we have. It’s called Geo Bucket and I downloaded it because I was looking for a new app that we could use offline for gecoaching, specifically whilst in New...
I’d hoped that after the tumble drier stopped working, the microwave blew up, the septic tank pump failed and the Hard Drive in my computer failed that we had seen the end of expensive things breaking – We can’t afford to replace anything else. But no, now the barometric altimeter in Garmin Forerunner 910XT has...
My triathlon training and racing has been going well lately, but I’d still like to step things up a gear and get faster still. I can’t afford new go faster kit such as aero wheels or a tri-specific bike which could shave some seconds off my times. I could increase the training load which I...
Our recent and pointless trip to the Apple Store gave Morgan a chance to play with some of the toys there. He is saving up for an iPod Touch but had a go with other things too…. Somehow he just instinctively knows how to use them and within seconds managed to take a photo of...
I’ve been having some bad luck with Apple lately. First the hard drive in my iMac died. I did of course have a back-up so was able to boot from an external drive and continue working and I also had AppleCare cover on it so thought that getting it repaired would be easy. I gave...
I’ve been meaning to write a reviews of the various online training diary applications / website for a while now. I’ve written a review of the training software available for a Mac before, but the online offerings have probably now overtaken these in features and even robustness. I still like the idea of local, offline...
My new Garmin Forerunner 910XT has been working really well. I’ve used it on a few runs, the odd bike ride and a few times in the pool and it’s been spot on with the routes it has shown and has managed to count every single length in the pool. That was until Friday when...
I got my new training gadget on Friday, a Garmin Forerunner 910XT that I’ve been wanting to get hold of for a while. Stocks are limited and they’ve been a little difficult to get hold of but I managed to get a good deal and excellent service from Tristan at heartratemonitor.co.uk. There was no messing...
It’s half term again so Morgan is at home with me. That means an early start for me so that I can get work done and out of the way before Morgan gets out of bed, giving me plenty of time to keep him entertained. This mornings entertainment was a trip to the hospital for...
