Garmin Vector 3 battery life probably isn’t top of mind now years after the Garmin Vector 3 pedals were launched and also after Garmin’s new power products were released. That said, I expect these and other Garmin power pedals to have excellent shelf life and be worth more second hand than for instance the Favero Assioma pedals. The reason is …
Triathlon Races Close to You
In the age of flight shame and of simply not travelling halfway across the planet to participate in your favourite kind of event – triathlon – it’s handy to know what goes on close to where you live. Sure, racing in wonderful locations is great, too, but most of us don’t have the time or the funds to always go …
How to Sync “Strava” with Relive Without the Direct Sync
As beautifully explained here Strava has crushed it’s ties to Relive and it’s apparent from the comments, that Strava needs to sharpen up. As DCRainmaker points out it’s your activity data to do with what you want. If (and that’s a big “if”) we can assume that your data isn’t created using the Strava app, but for instance with a …
How to Sync Your Garmin Connect Data with Anything
The fitness tracker market has been going absolutely nuts over the past 10-15 years. The range of apps available is amazingly large, whether they support specific devices or just cater to certain regions or sports. Either way, you can’t expect to be able to use just your preferred single app to connect with everyone you know, who’s using whichever app they …
Training Log October 2012
As I write this on the evening of October it’s Halloween. Good month, October! All racing is now done and dusted for 2012. There are no more races to even consider going to – not that I did any other than the swim across the fjord in Vejle. It’s a good thing – focus can now go thoroughly to 2013. …
Time for a New Social Network: Garmin Connect Upgrades
Over the past few years we’ve been presented with more and more options for tracking our training and racing performance. It’s also become increasingly easy to that and share your progress and/or connect with friends and foes. Training log/social networks like Endomondo and Strava have thrived by making tracking readily available on smartphones, and at the same time make it …
Retül Bike Fitting – and Why You Should Get One
My bike is a modified road bike – a Focus Culebro 2010 with a pair of clip-on bars to make it useful for non-drafting triathlons. Admittedly I’ve grown increasingly dissatisfied with the decision to purchase a road bike and modify it instead of just buying a pure triathlon bike. The differences are that the frame of a traditional road bike …
Where Can I Do Lap Swimming in Amsterdam?
Over the past few weeks I have gotten rather frustrated trying to find out which pool I could train at and at which times. You may think this is a rather easy task: Just find out when the pool nearest to you is open and go at that time, right?! Not so. My days tend to change a lot from …
Training Log August 2012
The second month in the new training regimen was to be immediately disrupted by summer vacation in August+September. As a result the total training time for August is not even close to that of July, but still much, much higher than any previous months in 2012. It was holiday for half of the month, which makes it a bit difficult …
Training Log July 2012
After the completion of Challenge Aarhus 2011 I had made a conscious decision to slow down training during the second half of the year for personal reasons. Eventually the result was training duration anywhere from a mere 30 minutes to 6 hours per month – 6 hours being a really good month. Recently that all changed and in July that …
