Garmin Woes

Saturday, I was finishing up the 50k when suddenly, my Garmin started complaining about satellite reception. I get that this happens from time to time, but this time, it didn’t make much sense. The race follows an out and back course. It didn’t have any issues on the way out, and it was far more overcast. Even weirder, I had run through a tunnel twice. All that I could was keep clicking the notifications. I ended up missing about 3 and ½ miles of the course because this was happening. Fortunately, this doesn’t affect the running time.

But it is quite irritating. I count on the auto lap feature to remind me when to drink.

May be it is time to update my GPS watch.
