5) No-one was backstroking down my lane with four pieces of swim equipment at the speed of a one-legged turtle

I couldn’t agree more… what is even worse, that certain person is backstroking without any piece of swim equipment with the speed of one-legged sloth…

Ray, don’t drink water that’s been heated inside a plastic water bottle. Even by the sun, the plastic leaches carcinogenic chemicals.

Ray, there was a lot going on this weekend here in the Bay Area. You could have caught the Bay to Breaker race and seen lots of pot smoking naked people running through the city, or maybe a stage of the Amgen Tour of California.
What most people from here don’t realize, is that SFO is pretty far away from the actual San Francisco city. You did a great job finding a pool that was open and close to the airport. We are spoiled here. Usually when I’m in Germany working, I have the same problems you do in the pool, fighting it out with about 10 people/lane, if there even is a lane.Or avoiding the crazy ‘old German style’ back stroke, which basically means not looking which way you are going and trying to stretch your arms AND legs out as wide as possible in a ‘snow-ferry-like’ motion. But it may surprise you, the conditions for swimming in Germany were even worse 20 years ago when I first arrived there. Unless you were in a swimming club or team, there were never dedicated lanes or even lane lines to allow a workout.
See you around…

Hi, is it possible to charge the 610 just like you showed on the 305?

Thanks.

If you want a biking or running partner while you’re here, let me know. I’m in Snohomish. I enjoy your blog

Comment on O-Synce Navi2Coach GPS Cycling Computer In-Depth Review by stephen

Kate, what Ray probably meant to say, was that this is the first WIRELESS remote control, using ANT+. Shimano’s Flight Deck still exists and is a pain to hook up. The other O-Synce computers come with wired remotes, which are also handy and improve safety when riding.
