Also fun to see the two of you engaged in tandem with one another. As I listened to you, I wondered how many couples sit around talking about motivation, training, latest research… (Other cyclists, athletes and our friends sometimes are captivated/confused by how much Jay and I talk about this stuff. Even friends of ours after reading our book said they didn’t realize how much our relationship is enhanced by this common interest.

Thanks!!

Great article Molly!! Should have read that before we committed to living 3 years in a canvas tent with three kids in the bush.

Great ‘experience’, but…

We bought a small townhouse and moved back to the City.

It’s difficult to live simply in the modern day when you have to work. Oh, and showering under a bag (in the cold)?” and cr*pping in a hole for 3 years can get a bit… repetitive.

Putting the battery in upside down for a few seconds did the trick. This has revived a HRM that has just NEVER worked. You are a life saver.

thank you for the comments Larry ! definately worth testing your feeling (and results) vs. the devices

You might like this article (paywalled with bicycling) Molly did interviewing the garmin creators on how their devices are supposed to work (and why they don’t really) especialy if not using multiple devices (wrist and bike/run)
