I ran last night with the Seaford Striders round the town's hinterland and back along the sea front. I am still struggling to understand my new Garmin, so only got it to start recording the run half way through. I'm told it was about six miles, and I went with the medium pace group, though I must say I find them fast; even the dog is faster than me..
On Tuesday I ran up Seaford Head, by the South barn route. This time the Garmin claimed to be low on battery and then, two-thirds of the way through the run, suddenly went into GPS mode. As with the half marathon, while it seemed to be timing the run, there was no data to transfer to Garmin Connect. I have learnt two things:
- always lock the bezel while running
- press reset at the end
I hope the battery improves. It was fully charged on Friday and left in power-save mode for most of those three days, apart form two and a half hours ruing, and perhaps another half-hour when it was on as I set it up. The advertised battery life is two weeks in power save mode, and eight hours with GPS on.
Wednesday evening's run:
Distance: 3.46 (in reality 6)
Time: 33:08 (about an hour)
Pace: 9.35
Tuesday's run: 3 miles
