Sprint Quickroute
Here's the Quickroute from yesterday's sprint O' session. I figured this would challenge the GPS a bit - running under/through a couple of buildings and along the edges of some tall buildings. Sure enough, you'll see the track go completely wrong for controls 6 through 9. I wonder if one of the newer GPS would do a better job. I've got a Garmin Forerunner 201. I think the newer Garmin Forerunners are supposed to deal with sketchy reception better.
I ran at an honest effort for the first 10 minutes (to control 11), then jogged easily to control 21. I skipped 22 because there's a bit construction area on the line to 22. The construction is related to a new football facility.
