So much for secret training rides

So after an entire summer of riding at night, riding alone, and riding on secret trails, routes, and hills, all for the sake of nobody knowing my super secret training rides, I find out this last week that every single ride I've been on, is posted publicly on garminconnect.com.

I thought the web based training log was great, at first. Until I realized that every workout I've done over the last year is posted for every one of my competitors to see. Not only the ride, but my heart rate, lap times, and interval sets, all there for anyone to see.

Talk about your all time back fires

Thanks Aaron for the heads up. I'm currently tracking all your rides on there too, so come spring, we'll see who has the edge on who....

Great, you're RUNNING now!? How am I supposed to compete with that?

You just need to mix it up a little. Run your garmin while sleeping and then overlap it to a ride. It will look like you are a champ. A little photoshop doesn't hurt anything.

good call SCC. Who says I can't run squaw peak in 25 minutes with an average heart rate of 57. And Aaron, watch out. I've been leaving my Garmin on for the drive home and calling it "running"...

Ditch the computer and go old school, fear not. Break the rusty cage, and run
