GARMIN UPLOADING IS NOW A FREE FEATURE

Way back in the dark ages of 2008 when we first introduced uploading Garmin data to our training logs it was a novel feature.  Very few online training logs had this ability and it was something you had to pay for across the board.  Given this and the expense of developing and supporting device uploads, we made it one of our Performance Member features. This was reasonable.

Since then it's become more common and athletes such as yourselves have come to expect it to be a free feature of any decent training log. This is also reasonable.

Given this, uploading from Garmins to the BeginnerTriathlete training logs is now a free feature. Enjoy.

We've been aware for some time that this would have to happen. Features like this tend to become commodities and we like it that way. It forces us to keep getting better. 

Please note that this pertains to earlier models, not FIT file devices.  This is 310XT and earlier.You may have to login and logout and/or do a cache flush (Ctrl+F5) to enable this. 

This also brings up a few questions:

What about new Garmin models like the Edge 500 etc.? What about mass uploads of workouts? What about other manufacturers like Polar?

We've got you covered. Once we have a couple of minor things from the Custom Training Plan Creator worked out and the version 1 of iPhone and Android apps out (I'm getting what should be the final iPhone demo in a few hours) our next big project is increasing the device upload capability to handle FIT files, mass uploading and include other brands.  We don't want to give a release date, but it will be worked on starting in January. And once it's live, it will be free.
