2008 - May

[Sweder]

I'm with you on the race-use Cobber; no place for 'em.

90% of the donuts tripping me up in Brussels were iplod-wearers.
Blame Nike (always a good target) for introducing their Nike+ shoe-linked technology. A lot of people swear by it, my mate Ronan included. I have to say the interface is brilliant, all sorts of wizardry to help plan training schedules, develop music patterns for different training runs and a superbly cross-referenced, user-friendly history program.

Problem is come race day you're so used to running to the beat you need to wear the darned thing to get through the race, spacial awareness goes out the window and old goats like me bleat long and hard about the inequities of encroaching technologies.

Thanks for the lend of your soap box; I'll get me bear skin and cudgel.
