I have the Garmen Forerunner 305 and apparently I can also upload my data, but I haven't figured out how to yet. I'm not someone that finds these techie things easy to do.Quote:

Hey, Wahine
Admittedly, I find techie things not terribly challenging, usually, so I find uploading to motionbased pretty cool. I actually just spent a few minute downloading the upgrades, so I hope I'll have an even better experience in the future.
I'd love to see what your training rides and runs look like, so please take a few minutes to create your motionbased free account!
I love the butterflies story!! Aren't they the coolest creature?
H&B,

Have you had any problems with it? I'm looking at getting one...Quote:

And I was so happy to feel that my legs and lungs felt like they could just keep riding and riding and riding! Yahoo!!
I'd love to see those pics of the outdoor furniture. We are so looking for great ideas!

I only have 10 run and rides up there right now. Don't know if I can have more or not. I haven't figured that out yet.
This is very cool. And now that I have the data at my finger tips, I'm off to join the climbing club.
The wild thing is that so far in April I've climbed more running than I have biking. I better start riding some harder hills!!

That's some climbing you've done, girl!
I've been uploading for quite a long time. I don't think there is a limit to how many rides/runs you can upload for free. I sure hope not! :p
Keep training - you rock!

I'm not kidding when I say...
There is absolutely no flat ground around here.
I have no choice but to climb. Thanks for the encouragement. It makes me feel better. I feel kinda slow but I have to remind myself of the hills and that when I get on flat on flat ground on race day, I'll be flying.:D
You go girl! But also, when you talk about the race, you mean the IM right? And don't you have to go up Richter Pass for that? DH and I were talking about driving down to Penticton to ride the IM route some time this summer. It looks pretty hilly to me. :)
Hey you NW gals.. any of you done the STB? Someone @ the Cindy dinner was talking about it and it sounded like a fun ride.
What's the weather like, etc? Like a brief ride report, if you will :)
Yup it is. I would estimate (I guessed from looking at the following link) that the total climbing is 3600 to 4000 feet. Not a flat ride. But, around here, that would be considered a milder 180 km. There are a lot of flatter places on the IM ride that you can get some good speed up. Here's the course link:Quote:

Have fun. I might come up and ride it once before the big day as well. I'll let you know if I do.
LOL, that's why YOU are the Ironwoman! Richter Pass would be a big challenge to me. But then I still shudder at the mere 150 metres on the hill coming home... :rolleyes: :o :D
I have to also mention that doing those big hills at 100 degree temps also kill me. :)
You rock Wahine!
One year we were doing a training ride on the IM course in mid June and the temps were 32 deg in Oliver. That kind of temp for an Edmonton girl in June is deadly. I thought I would melt.
This year should be a lot easier for me, similar climate, similar training terraine. I hope it turns into a faster ride. :D
Both metrics I did last summer were on the highway and in the hills, mid-day at 37 degrees. Hot, hot, hot....
