While I watched live I hate spoler titles in sports /motorsports communities/subs/magazines

But on topic, not how I thought it was gonna end 3/4 of the way through... So happy about that!

One of the interesting things I discovered after doing a few overnight passages is just how fast the moon moves across the sky as well as how bright it is when there's no other light!

Delayed reply :). But I'd think a lot. I also imagine putting it on the trailer would be difficult!

Sounds fun! While I grew up with my dad owning a sailboat (2 different ones 22 and 25') my wife had no idea how to sail.

We took a week long liveaboard ASA (101,103,104). While she definitely learned a lot, it was on a 43' boat. Even though I can sail it was weird not having the immediate feel of the wind like I always had on smaller boats.

But it was a fantastic week, and we were mentally ready to sell everything and move onto a sailboat :)

Was beginning to think we'd (FCC) be getting our boys back. Turner was the MVP tonight!

Wasn't a pretty win, but it was a win.

Had an account since about 2010, looks like I stopped using it around 2016. Just logged in to see what if anything was left. A few notes, nothing important.

Tried closing my account instead of just leaving it hanging out there and it fails. Guess I'll try later

For normal non city running any of them should be fine. The more expensive ones will reach more satellites by supporting other non US systems like GLONASS, and GALILEO increasing accuracy by using more satellites.

I generally use just gps on my Fenix 6x Pro. Unless I'm running in thick trails where the extra satellites might help.

DC rainmaker definitely has a lot of in depth info on accuracy.

I've had a 910xt, 920xt, Fenix 3HR, Fenix 5x, and now The 6x pro. Running very similar courses for my daily runs and they all report mostly the same. I overlayed a few old tracks compared to new ones and they're all close.

Ya, pretty wild setup for sure...

I'm trying to support the change. I joined 6/11, I stopped visiting the other site the same time.

I created a community that didn't exist yet here (in the fediverse) and am trying to post /comment more then I would normally. I wasn't a lurker over there but I am more engaged here.

Long live the new(ish) fediverse :)

Edit: I also removed my content and deleted my 12yo account on 7/1

Ya, was that a hat trick? :)

We started out strong, but you're right about Acosta looking gassed. We even talked about Barreal looking tired also.

Ugh... Browsing all bites me with spoilers...

Not the best wind, but it was sailing none the less. Sailed about 10 miles averaging 4kts

 

We had 6 boats for the raft-up/hangout, then 4 off us stayed overnight. The next morning I cooked my breakfast for the first time after finding a "period correct" alcohol stove over the winter!

After I cleaned everything up, I detached from the raft-up, and did some poleless/preventerless wing on wing (which is far too much work!) down to the main section of the lake where it was wider, then sailed down and back getting about 12 miles in for the day!

I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I'm 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13's :)

Normally something (knees) let me know it's time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me!
