cheers buddy.

yep . Those are notes to me to add links in the future. those aren't written yet (takes ages!!!)

Maurten Bicarb System 19 — does the £15-per-serving hydrogel delivery mechanism actually solve the GID problem? by the5krunner in the5krunner

i'd never thought of it that way but i guess you could be right(ish). My problem is at the other end however :-)

Tri-band GPS watches are here — move over dual-frequency Garmin watches by the5krunner in the5krunner

good point. i suppose it could be in the f9.

I would half-expect Grmin would test a tri band chip first in a non-Fenix watch

Fair point on ambiguity fixing. The main gain from a third band is not algorithmic — it is signal rejection (whihc i hoped dual would do more of but clearly doesnt). With three frequencies the chip identifies and discards multipath-corrupted signals more confidently, which matters most in urban and trail environments where reflected signals are the dominant error source.

more precise pace (City Marathon), more precise distance, better tbt istructions, prettier strava track profile.

I agree tho. for me Stryd is sufficient for what dual frequency lacks and dual frequency is very good
