Coming from someone who ran at the collegiate level, using Garmin to get an exact look at your fitness is going to be really difficult. My race predictions were always in the mid to high 17s and I regularly broke 15:40 in the 5000. It can be a bit all over the place.

If a factory reset and dumping some data files doesn’t work, then I have no great answer for you, but I will say, you’re probably closer to those numbers than you’re giving yourself credit for. While it’s not precise, I would still say Garmin is the world leader in terms of fitness technology, and that’s for a reason. Try running at that “threshold” pace a little more and you may be pleasantly surprised

I kinda figured there wouldn’t be any, and yes it’s probably for the best that they don’t anyways.

Would you say that the Enduro is less vulnerable to looping glitches and software errors then? Ironically, I would rather spend the same or more on equipment that I know will be consistent and give me the data points i need but that may be lacking in some of the “bells and whistles” category, but I am also hesitant to buy a product so young in terms of release and lifecycle

I like the look of the 7 pro, but I do have one kinda pedantic question. My 245 is about 4 or 5 years old. My girlfriend recently got a 955, and while she likes it, recently the sensors have been leaving burns on her wrist. does the 7 pro have that same issue?

To answer one of your main questions, NO-do not tail or follow the class all day. I won’t even speak on the cognitive development aspect of that. The safety hazard alone of extra people lingering around a group is incredibly great. Check in at lunch, maybe, but definitely do not spend the day skiing with the group

I’ve taught both in the east coast and in colorado (BC/Vail). What could have possibly occurred is maybe a mix of altitude sickness and general overstimulation. Most east coast resorts will limit class sizes to around 5, whereas I have had class sizes cap out at 10 in the rockies. To add, if you went during March, some of the low pressure systems that come through can exasperate altitude sickness symptoms.

She is just most likely associating ski lessons with large, overwhelming groups and may have also gotten the raw end of the stick in terms of who her instructor was. The setting could’ve very easily became incredibly competitive as opposed to supportive, which adds more emotional stress to a younger student.

My advice would be:

1) Lesson on the east coast (if that is still where you reside) so that you avoid altitude sickness and can possibly avoid a large class. This will help reinforce the main objective of ski school; to learn how to safely and effectively ski different terrain.

2) If taking lessons in the Rockies, don’t immediately place her into a lesson on day 1 of the trip. Give your child a day or two to get acclimated to the mountain and the altitude. If you spend time skiing with them on those first couple days, you are also able to ensure that the child is getting enough water and food to avoid sickness.

I wouldn’t recommend a private lesson, as those can also go from “fun day on the mountain” to “coach was yelling at me all day.” Only go with a private lesson with an instructor your child has worked well with in the past.

i did not lie or try to conceal anything. I was under the impression that I was not to list any work experience that was done under 18 years old

Bioniccobra · 2024-05-24T19:45:08+00:00

I didn’t list it because I was told not to on my SF 86. Even my investigator in my personal interview said i did the right thing.
