Re: Gadget pr0n
They are a great training tandem, but racing with one is difficult at best. The 305 should not be in the water and it is SO Bulky that getting your wetsuit off even more difficult.

But to train with it is amazing. Racing against yourself, the courses feature is great. It is worth it to train with and I am now used to, and even prefer to race without any gizmos. No HR data, nor a computer on the bike. I just go as hard as I can the whole way. I only do sprints for the record, so there is no pacing.

Motionbased is a great tool, as is allsportgps.com.
A couple of us on another forum would race each other virtually like the nike+ using motionbased, it was a good time.

"not even a speedo on the bike"

Upon reading this, I think I pictured something far different than what you intended. And based on the topic name, there are too many jokes to even list

Whoops, I did not even realize the name of the topic, since that is not an image I care to pass on to anyone else I am editing that one out.

Thanks
