20 hour runs with a Garmin 405
Re: 20 hour runs with a Garmin
Is that a 'friendship bracelet'?
I thought they never made it out of the 90's

Its two friendship bracelets actually - my eldest daughter usually makes me one before the start of each summer and I've managed to not rot the last two summer's worth off with my sweaty wrists :)

That's great. Thanks for sharing that. It is frustrating when the 405 pings off before the end of a long day.
Now you just need a car charger for the watch charger so that you can charge the charger in between charges (or buy an enlarged charger) and you'll be able to log the whole Bob Graham.
Now that is a Strava segment I would like to see!

It's only a matter of time

Aha, now I am beginning to understand Stolly's latest obsession...he may well be the first to crack that. Just the small matter of completing the BGR in order to get a full Garmin trace...easy peasy ;)

They are definitely part of the backpacker scene. Just sit still for two minutes anywhere on the Asian continent (or in some parts of South America) where there is a small child nearby and you'll find yourself sporting a friendship bracelet (or six) usually adorned with shells and strange seeds which then turn out to be highly poisonous!

Yeah, running it is the easy bit. It is just organising the battery-carrier for all this technology to go with the navigator and food & drink sherpa(s) on each leg that is the tricky bit. :-)

Ha ha. Yeah, I hear they can start to feel disrespected if BGers start to carry too many of their own jelly babies.
