Many of the roads I bike and trails I hike don't have cell service, so a few years ago Beth got me this Garmin GPS Map 66i. It has a ton of a features including satellite messaging, weather, maps etc. In the intervening years the iPhone has introduced satellite SOS calling and I could use that if necessary, but the Garmin lets me send Beth a map link which updates every 10 minutes.

I've carried it hundreds of miles and it has accumulated some wear but dropping it in the garage cracked the screen. I chatted with Garmin support and they said it wasn't repairable and even though it is a few years old they offered a good discount on a refurbished unit.

The refurbished unit looks brand new. It takes a while to get it setup - hard to believe but downloading the maps takes 3.5 hours, even when syncing from my laptop.

46 km Today.

The Garmin watch continues to impress. Good battery life and only a moderate level of nagging me.

The Garmin Connect app is, well stupid. I went on the ride noted, and had my watch and my bike computer on. They both recorded the ride. The watch even found all the sensors on the bike.

BUT

When I downloaded the data to my phone I had two rides. I do not think that the Connect App should have trouble telling they were the same ride with the same person at exactly the same time. It was so happy I got 92 km done. Err, not so much.

I had to delete the ride the watch recorded.

This is not a bug, just a simple problem of duplication. I have a watch and a bike computer. I cannot be the only one. So next time I do not hit record on the watch, unless my bike computer dies again.

It was another cold day with frost on the roads. I had to be careful to ride only where the sun had melted the frost, so no going up into the city with all that shade.

A couple of weeks off from hard workouts after the 35 miler, but back to it! Today it was time for hill repeats. I went with 5 x 75 seconds at a 5k effort and then 5 x 150 seconds at a 10k/half effort. I always find hill repeats are best done by either RPE or running power as a guide for effort. Being the data dork that I am, of course I went with running power!

A quick pre-workout look at my @strydrunning power duration curve showed me my 5k/10k/half power numbers to shoot for. I was able to easily focus on that power goal with the Stryd zones data field on my awesome @garmin Forerunner 265 (and available to download on the Garmin connect IQ app!)

What to Do If You Get Lost in the Wild

Even in the age of smartphones and GPS, stories of hikers getting lost in the wilderness still regularly appear in the news. How do people get lost even when carrying their devices, and what should you do if you ever find yourself in that situation? To answer those questions, I called up Creek Stewart, a wilderness survival expert and instructor and a longtime friend of AoM. Creek is the author of numerous books on wilderness survival and has been the host of several Weather Channel shows on the subject, including S.O.S.: How to Survive. Besides his over two decades of survival experience, Creek told me that hosting S.O.S. gave him a unique perspective on how people get lost in the wilderness and what separates those who survive and get rescued quickly from those who flounder. When he hosted the show, he interviewed dozens of folks who had gotten lost in the wild, often in popular national parks filled with other people. Below Creek shares his insights on how anyone can become disoriented when traversing the great outdoors and, more importantly, how to stay safe if it happens to you. Pre-Trip Preparation: How to Ensure Your Quick Rescue in the Event You Get Lost Creek says there are three things you can do before your trip that, should you manage to get lost during it, will dramatically increase your chances of a quick rescue and a safe return: 1. Tell people where you’re going and when to expect you back. Do this even if you’re going on a simple day hike near your home. 2. Ensure your phone is fully charged and bring a power bank. If you plan on using a digital app/map to guide your hike, you’ll of course want to make sure your phone is fully charged and has a backup power source as well. A phone is of no use if it doesn’t have power. People get lost, their phones die, and they can’t figure out where they are and how to get back on track. A dead phone not only contributes to getting lost, but prevents a quick rescue as well. Creek told me the one thing that all the people who had a slow rescue had in common was that they went out into the wild without a fully charged phone and without a way to power it back up. “The people who got found quickly typically had a fully charged phone, so when they got lost, they could make a call or at least put out a distress signal with GPS,” he told me. If you’re looking for a power bank for outdoor excursions, I like and use the S.A.B.A.N.I. Portable Charger 35000mAh Power Bank. You can charge your iPhone up to five times with this power bank. 3. Consider carrying a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). Creek recommends buying a PLB or satellite communicator. While they’re pricey and require a subscription, they will allow you to send a distress signal and share your GPS location even when you don’t have cell service. Garmin makes two satellite communicators: * Garmin inReach Messenger Handheld Satellite Communicator. This device is also a Personal Locator Beacon, and it works with your smartphone, so you can text even when you don’t have cell service. * Garmin inReach Mini 2. It allows you to text and also has maps and weather forecasts. It’s more expensive than the original inReach due to those additional features. Doing those three things before you leave for your trip will ensure you get found within 24 hours of getting lost in the wild. In addition to doing those three things, Creek also recommends that you dress appropriately for the climate and bring some essential gear for any wilderness outing, even a short day hike. Pack the essentials we list here. Having those things on you in the event you get lost will help you stay safe and comfortable in the outdoors while you’re waiting to be found. The Psychology of Getting Lost If you stay on marked trails when you’re out in nature, your risk of getting lost is very low. Before you begin a hike, download an offline map on your phone in case you don’t have cell service. Again, make sure you have a power charger. And carry a paper map as a backup, too.  According to… http://dlvr.it/TCRdLG

I'm not a programmer but I have a feeling that things going "app based" or running on Android based platforms is causing way more problems than it solved. I'm told that they're easier to program and write stuff for than more refined purpose built software but this seems to lead to a quality drop across the board. Let me complain about the redundant GPS systems I use in my truck for a minute

The screen on the right is a brand new Rand Mcnally gps. The smaller one on the right is a 4 year old Garmin.

The Garmin is purpose built to be a GPS. I have no idea what it's specs are but they are enough to run the map program and reliably get me where I need to go. If I want to update the map, I plug it into my laptop and download the update. It's pretty simple. If I want it to factor in live traffic data, I can Bluetooth connect it to my phone but that's very much an option and not a requirement.

The Rand Mcnally is an android tablet with a map app that I'm pretty sure you can't get on the app store. The map is pretty good but it crashes more often than I'd like. It also needs a Wi-Fi connection to update the map and get live traffic, meaning that I'll need to leave my phone hotspot on all of the time or buy a separate hotspot and subscription for this thing to work the way I'd like it to.

I'm concerned that the Rand Mcnally isn't going to last as long as I'd like a $400 machine that does one (1) thing to given that it's brand new and already crashes sometimes while in use. I'm not sure if it's the App itself or the trimmed down version of android in the tablet but something isn't right here. The Garmin is slow to type on and the map's aesthetic is a little dated but it works. It actually fucking works. It reliably does what it says on the box and I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to use it indefinitely.

If you really want to get into it, the Qualcomm computer that came with my truck also has a nav system. It's from like 2006 and boy does it feel like it but it also works like new, I just don't have the patience to type addresses into it.

Anyway all of that to say I don't think optimized programming is dead, companies just have to be willing to pay for the development.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

Mid-Week Reflection

I had a pretty down day yesterday. It makes it feel like I've always felt that way—despite me having one of the best stretches I've ever had. That sucks. I really don't like feeling this way :( Well, it's time to see how I did up to the halfway point.

Digital Minimalism 100%: I did really good for that first day. But I did terrible yesterday. The hard thing is that once I have a bad day, I feel frazzled for a couple days. It gets harder to stick to this. I'll have to really fight against the friction and try to get back on track. Cafes and this rest day to organize should help. Fingers crossed! Huel + Protein: I'm getting back at this. I re-upped and am ready to go! I didn't exercise yesterday b/c I was really tired + garmin was buggin' out. I should try to get back on track today!

Watchlist+ USB only: I got 2 with this. That's pretty good. I got the patreon, but that should only be after. Maybe I can find a way to download? That would be fun. Some new stuff there.

Cafe Fri/Sat/Sun: Not applicable now, but it will be in a couple days! Let's get to Kyu and do some work!

Today's Writing and Reading Goals have helped. It pushes me to focus on specifics to keep all projects moving along! Also, it lets me feel a bit accomplished at the end of the day. It's important to feel good sometimes. The general mode seems to be feeling like a failure

:(

Well, let's tackle this day!

I’m still bike training 5-6 hours a week to get ready for my cross Pyrenees trip this August. I hired a coach and he creates bike workouts that are downloaded to Zwift. I ride my Kickr trainer in Erg mode and Zwift and the Kickr automatically change the resistance to match the workout.

I am in a “build” phase of this month’s training and the workouts are very, very challenging. I can only sustain a few minutes above 160 beats per minute and 171 is as high as I can go. My Garmin watch was not impressed this morning.

Zwift tries to make the inherently boring experience of riding a bike trainer a little more exciting. You can chat with other riders, give kudos and even go on group rides (none of which I have any interest in doing). They also reward time in the app by advancing riders to higher and levels based on miles ridden. At each level you get points which can spend to get flashier wheels, or a special jersey or helmet. As you can see in the pic I just earned some special bike gloves. This is entirely wasted on me. I’ve never ridden by another biker, noticed his jersey and realized or cared what level the rider has achieved.

Despite the Garmin’s advice to chill on the couch, we XC skied for an hour with my niece and her SO. It is pretty warm and the tracks haven’t been groomed but it was fun nonetheless.
