Weird GPS route from Garmin Forerunner 910XT

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...

There are a couple that I’ve been looking at such as the Swimovate PoolMate PRO Computer Sports Watch and the Finis Adult Swimsense. Something to add to my birthday and Christmas wish list maybe?

Geocaching and Everytrail

It was the first day of the summer holidays today and right on cue the weather was set to take a turn for the worse. It didn’t look as though it would be too bad in the morning though so Morgan and I headed out for a walk. We had a few things to do...

New GPS Enabled Training Device

My beloved and very well used Garmin Forerunner 305 has stopped working. I’ve had it since January 2008 and it has been working flawlessy but now it keeps switching itself off. Sometimes it’ll stay on for a while but if I just touch the casing then it shuts down. I guess it could have got...

Lake Swimming in Wales

As you may know from a previous weblog entry, I’m doing a mile swim in Lake Bala next Sunday in Aid of Diabetes UK. I thought I’d better do some training for it so yesterday I did a mile swim in the pool at the Sport Centre. 68 lengths non-stop isn’t the most exciting of...

The Perils of Weight Loss 4

The Perils of Weight Loss

I’ve actually lost a bit of weight recently. That’s not a bad thing as I approach the age of 40. A number of people have commented on the fact and my BMI is now well within the ‘Ideal Weight’ bracket. All of which is good and I’m fairly pleased with it. That was until this...

An Unexpected Wind

Windsurf Speed Session

Speed Season is here!!! I’ve just got back from a windsurf session the estuary here at Ynyslas. Ivor, our local katabatic wind was up to his tricks so the wind was ballistic at over 40 knots. The water was a seething mass of white and simply getting out of your car on the beach led...

Garmin Forerunner 310XT – Waterproof GPS

It isn’t available yet, but the new Garmin Foreunner 310Xt looks like an intersting bit of kit. I have a few GPS devices already and love my Garmin Foreunner 305, this just take it to another level, being more rugged and waterproof. Finally, a GPS-enabled training device that isn’t afraid of the water. The rugged...
