Garmin, iOS, Triathlon

Oh Garmin…

I’ve been meaning to write out this for a while but this past week finally spurred me into action. It’s been a trying week for some if not all (tri)athletes out there, well, the ones that use a Garmin device, which is just about all of them. Actually, now that I think about it, I

iOS 9 beta 4 OTA

Just a quick note if you are having difficulties installing the new (released July 21) iOS 9 beta 4 on your device via OTA (over-the-air), which prevents you from having to do a Restore.

NHL Bracket Challenge 2015

Vernal Equinox – March 20, 2015

The 2015 Vernal Equinox, which marks the first day of Spring for Northern Hemisphere dwellers, is almost upon us. This is the (one of 2) point(s) in the Earth’s orbit when the tilt of its axis (e.g. the North Pole) is neither pointing toward nor away from the Sun. In this situation, virtually all parts of the
