LOL, you're the second person to ask me that. Ran with a buddy who's slower than me, and we ran on (mostly) single-track trail, plus I've got a big run coming up this weekend, so I'm trying to take it easy on my legs.
That was intense, too intense for a Monday morning. I don't know what I would have done in that situation but I wouldn't have my phone in my hand.
Dude didn't have bear spray? Any time I'm trail running alone, I've got it handy. And most times when I'm with a group.
You see the two cubs in the early seconds of the clip. Mom comes running up a few seconds later.
On the upside, I did startle a skunk no more than 3 feet from me (startled me too!) and I didn't get sprayed. So there's that.
Didn't notice that at first glance. That second one is camouflaged pretty good by the grass in the middle of the road.
Yeah, I just watched on my desktop and saw the 2nd one. Didn't see it at first on my phone. I thought it was a squirrel that bolted when it saw the cougar.
He stumbled upon baby cougars. He started to move backwards while facing the cougar while making himself bigger and didn't run away. Seems like he got the big things right, but what else should he have done? I probably would have thrown a rock, but if I"m honest, I'd be nervous about antagonizing it.
One has to assume he saw the babies and got his phone out. During that time he walked toward the babies. That's what he did wrong. Everything else he pretty much did right.
that makes sense. I didn't get the idea that he purposely went towards the babies, but you're probably right.
Yep
Yeah, a watch ain't gonna cut it there.
Looking at the specs, it appears the 245 has Pulse Ox (Fenix 5+ doesn't), but doesn't have a Barometric Altimeter (the Fenix 5+ does).
Yeah, I saw that. I'm still in the market for a watch. My old backup wasn't charging, then it charged fine, now it's back to not charging. I think I'm going to follow the street running crowd here and go with the 245. Too bad it's not discounted for Prime Day.
Gimme a minute and let me check my wife's online Blue Cross/Blue Shield account. I've seen Garmin watches for sale in there at really good prices - probably because Garmin is headquartered here in KC and they have some kind of arrangement as part of a get healthy initiative with her insurance company.
I can get 30% off Garmin's list prices on their website through my employer discount. Let me know if that is a route you want to go.
So, it says "up to 30%", but looking at prices on a couple of these, it's 20% off for me too. You're still pretty good.
I got notification today that my backordered Salomon S-Lab Ultra 3 trail shoes came in-stock and shipped. Got them for $130. Pretty happy about that.
I have the 6s, and quite like them. Aside from the short tongue, which is strange. But otherwise they're my go-to shoe for long runs.
