While Garmin runners Adam and Jake (plus Jake’s wife Jocie) are likely kicked back poolside in sunny Cali, resting their legs for tomorrow’s San Diego Marathon, I’ll sorta be doing the same, only from the ‘burbs of KC. My justification for pool time is recovering from a hot & hilly brick workout with the Forerunner 310XT several hours ago. Jake recapped the highlights of the 310XT’s swim-proofness, long battery life and multisport features, and I have to give a plug for the new quick-release mount design. The quick-release wrist and bike mounts (sold as an optional accessory kit) are easy to set up and the unit secures with just a quarter-turn twist. So I can swap the 310XT head unit from wrist to bike in seconds and know it’s secure. I’m also a big fan of the 310XT’s vibration alert. These little perks just prove that Garmin engineers, many of whom are athletes who live and breathe the sport just like you, think of pretty much everything.
Since the 310XT can swim but I don’t, I can’t speak to its in-the-water performance, but I do know that one of the software engineers used it for his first tri of the season two weeks ago and was very impressed. Jake promised to take the 310 for a cool-down dip in the Pacific after the marathon, just like we did after our Hood to Coast relay last August. Maybe someday I’ll take the plunge. Until then, I’m content to use the 310XT for my duathlon training and racing. Check out links to my data in Garmin Connect from today’s workout: run 1, bike, run 2. Currently, Garmin Connect stores individual legs as separate activities, but a later release will link them together so you can analyze multisport workouts as a single activity.
