Prologue (Attack Badger Sprint) - Splits

The Pedometer for yesterday's run gives 15.30 km, the HRM, 15.8 km (which is right at its 3% accuracy spec), and the Polar software is so buggy that I can't figure out what it calculates out of the data in the HRM. Apparently the HRM itself interpolates through drop-out speed points, but the software (writers) is (are) not smart enough to do it.

I think that I'll stick in measuring distance covered to maps (O, TopoZone) and/or the Gmaps Pedometer (the latter, in cities and anywhere it is easy to trace off a photo), rather than the S625X, for now—the unit seems less accurate than tracing off paper. However, I will use the monitor's altitude measurement, since contour info on O-maps is often subjective, and it is hard to adequately estimate and add all the little half-contour dips that one usually makes.

BAOC street-O (Urban Goat) in the hills of Oakland and Piedmont, start and finish in Dimond Park. I got into a head-to-head match with Thorsten, and lost. Bummer, man.

The traffic was really tame, and Rex made all necessary arrangements for a safe and fair event, such as setting legs diagonally along, not across, major traffic thoroughfares (except one case, which only cost me 15 s and most runners, nothing).

The climb measurement is from the newly calibrated HRM. I forgot to sign my score sheet, so Rex threatened to put me down with the time when I actually signed it, just under two hours. I hope it was a joke.
