Member  2689     Denver, CO |  Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered)Gear question--any use a garmin 310xt? I have a forerunner 305 but seeing as I am doing a tri (and hopefully multiple tris!) I'd like something that is waterproof. In looking at reviews I see that the mileage isn't accurate but I think it would be good to use for keeping track of my overall time. I can pick one up used fairly cheap. Any thougths? Pros or cons? I use a 310xt but just got it and am still learning my way around it. I have fails about 1/2 the time, generally from operator error. Mine also takes a little while to connect to satellites so I have to turn it on and leave it outside for 5 min before I go anywhere. From what I understand, it's not really waterproof but you can put it under your swim cap when doing OWS and have it set to beep at distance intervals. |

Per the garmin website, the 310xt is waterproof up to 50M. The forerunner 305 (what I have now) is not waterproof at all. |

The 310 doesn't do a great job of making a pretty map afterward if you wear it on your wrist WHILE SWIMMING. Firmware updates have improved it from what is seen here though.

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors: We Will Stalk You (Open) Originally posted by laffinrock Sooooo, Friday the 13th, everybody! What are you scared of most? I'll start: Bigfoot. It even creeps me out to see the signs for Great Divide Yeti beer and leaving a campfire in the woods gives me anxiety attacks. OK, here goes: That my kids will quickly make friends and settle in to Austin (ayuh, looks like we're moving!), and that it's the right thing for whole family, and that we can get there quickly enough for them to start the summer school stuff (like band, etc.) and meet some kids before walking into a totally new school knowing no one and trying to figure out where to sit at lunch!! Serious concern, but we've done it before and these kids are great, so I'm both concerned and yet hopeful. It's an awesome opportunity, but it's hard moving kids at their ages... Oh, that and forgetting my bike shoes when packing for a race. Matt |

Matt Dangit - you might just win the Austin race Oh suuuuuure, bring the conversation back to tri stuff when we're all off on tangents and whatnot. I remember seeing the pics of a girl *I think* at IM Cozumel who forgot her bike shoes and did the whole bike in her bare feet with a couple of pieces of cardboard taped to the pedals. Now THAT's hardcore! |
, I'm hoping to get an offer next week and move for July 7th/8th or so!! | 2014-06-13 2:03 PM in reply to: jmkizer |

We moved our boys when they were in 1st & 3rd grades, then again when there were in 8th and 10th grades and they handled it well both times (besides the normal grumbling). |

It's a sprint, but with a 4 mile run at the end - which is just mean, if you ask me. And also not all that fun to find out when doing the race for the first time and at the 3 mile mark you're looking for the finish line and start to kind of sprint (but not really because my legs just don't DO that)... only to keep running... and keep running... it's just MEAN, I say! |

Being slightly smarter than last year, I just checked to make sure the run portion was still 4 miles and they hadn't changed it to something meaner, like 5 miles. |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors: We Will Stalk You (Open) A friend of mine is in Dubai. He snapped a picture of the latest women's running fashion. As you can see, it is in a lovely black color for that color's known cooling effect and it has a lovely flower to bring it all together!

I'm doing it again, but with the knowledge that the evil run is going to be 4 miles and not a much nicer 5km. MEAN! Both kittehs got launched off the bed last night, though at different times. I've found that one hand at the scruff of the neck and one under the butt-hind legs gives some pretty good distance. |
