On the garmin - I have no technical info to add, but I have learned not to rely on it during a race. It has typically given me inaccurate results which are usually more inaccurate on shorter races. On the 1/2's I've done they are closer to my recorded race pace. On the shorter 5 and 10k's it is usually off. I think some of this is related to the fact that the course is most likly not accurate either! I still use it during races to pace myself at the beginning and keep myself on a steady pace.
I'm not doing much this week in the way of training. We an adventure race this weekend. This is our last one of the season!!!! I'm so glad. I have been able to fit all of the races into my training schedule, but since we are all getting into the really long runs, I'm not really wanting to do the other races!! This week was supposed to be a short LR anyway. It went from 17 last week to 13 this week, so I was looking forward to the break! After this weekend's race, I can get back to just running and biking and swimming for xt!!!!!
I have been trying to read up on the different rides in the parks in Disney to plan our fun days. I have that unofficial guide. It is huge but he did include plans for families with preschool children and I did read about the switchoff (that sounds like a good thing). I don't like that book, it doesn't have any pictures. I want a book with pics of the cool stuff and about 300 fewer pages!
