I use the 405 for both running and biking and love it. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to manually change from running to biking mode. It's a pain if you are doing both or forget to switch it to running after you rode the day before. You also can't use it in the water

Yeah...I don't plan on any tris, but have had super rainy runs leave a bit of moisture under the face temporarily. And the changing of modes can be kind of a PITA.

Kacie!! How exciting, small race or not YOU CAME IN 1st!! 24:51 is a great time. Well done!

Wind I am running with the Garmin FR 305. Which was technically an anniversary gift to my husband who decided to take up Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a while and not run as often, so I'm borrowing it. Yes, it feels a little bulky at first, but you adjust. Overall I've been very happy w/ it, I used the NIKE+ before this and there is no comparison.

Bike Not entirely positive the screen will freeze, but I have a feeling it might. Right now in the subzero temp range the screens are becoming really slow to switch over when I want to change the modes & check other data. It's not the "I'm thinking" slow, it's the "I'm cold give me a minute" slow. Either way, when it's that cold I have layered up with light gloves & heavy mittens so it's either impossible to get the Garmin strapped around my wrist (too thick) or I can't see the screen anyway. Either way, it should still track the data, I just wont be able to see it until I get home, which is fine by me.

I WON!!!!!!!!!!

I won my age group in a 5K (granted, it wasn't HUGE or anything), and I was the third overall female with a time of 24:51 (Like I said, it wasn't a huge race). I got a plaque and everything! It is super cute!!! I was incredibly excited!!! Ok--enough shameless self promotion

Hey, that is awesome...and WAY cooler than my one and only AG win...when I was the ONLY one in my AG.

WTG! I hope you celebrated appropriately.

Did a hill workout this morning - the mileage - 2.75 is low but the effort was big. Took 30 min. The hill itself is half of the route.
40df this morning and misting - I wore a t-shirt, yoga pants, baseball cap, headlamp. Wore the Brooks.

hehehe....the only time I have placed before was in a 5K swim. I was third in my age group, and there were only 3 women. Whatever, I still put up the certificate
