What did Santa Bring You?

[mrlexan]

OK, we all posted our wish list, but what did Santa bring you?

For me, below. Hey, I am more than happy. Wanted one for a LONG time, just too cheap to go out and spend the money.

It's a runner's GPS.

Form meets function with Garmin's high-performance line of personal trainers — the Forerunner 305, 405 and 205. The Forerunner 305 includes a high sensitivity GPS receiver, new courses feature and robust wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.

Lock On to Satellite Signals
Forerunner 305 sports a unique design that wraps the GPS antenna around part of the wrist for a better view of the sky, and its high sensitivity GPS receiver provides improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings. Forerunner 305 also sports a robust ANT+™ wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest strap and superior battery life. It eliminates cross-talk with other devices to reliably measure and send heart rate data, and it helps you train in your optimal heart rate zone.

Take It to the Next Level
Forerunner 305's courses feature lets you compete against previous workouts: you can compare your pace and heart rate to your past performance over the same run. You can also use Forerunner 305 to train for your next duathlon or triathlon with multi-sport workouts, a feature that lets you seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the unit, so you can use it for running, biking and more.

Train indoors and still track your distance, pace and calories burned with the optional Foot Pod accessory. This wireless sensor attaches to your running shoe and transmits distance and pace data to your Forerunner 305 so you can still use it when GPS reception is unavailable.

Get the Data You Need
You can customize any of Forerunner 305's three main data screens — up to twelve data fields give you instant feedback on your workout. And, as with every Forerunner, each workout is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data and see how you've improved over time.

Track Your Progress
As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and store data from your workouts through our online community, Garmin Connect™, or our free Garmin Training Center® software. Conveniently upload your data to Garmin Connect for an in-depth analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your training to the next level. With Garmin Training Center® software, you can analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your pace, time, distance and heart rate. Overlay your run on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Endurance athletes can also use Forerunner with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event.

You've got to be joking.. where do you find the time to exercise?..

It's all about priorities.... I do every day. Have too. Keeps me sane and the stress levels down. Like with many things, if you don't have your health, what do you have? Did an hour Body Pump class this morning at the gym with my wife and will likely run about 3 miles at 3:00ish or so.

Good for you..the only exercise I get is walking the dogs twice a day..native bush tracks..1 hour round trip..I was never one for exercising in one place I just get bored..

Does mouse clicking and typing constitute excersize?

I'm sure it does..after all we are evolving and those fingers will one day be bigger than the others..man adapts to his environment..so spend long enough behind that key board and you will have knuckles the size of grape fruit before you know it..

This is not supposed to be a thread about exercise or about me...... it's supposed to be about what Santa brought you.

[tizeye]

Sorry but no big fat guy in a red suite visited me .. in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that I payed for everything that I got...

[badhoopty]

all i got were the swampers i bought for myself a couple weeks ago.

Well, I posted this in another thread but I got this from "santa":

[transamman908]

Santa brought these. I told Santa where to get them( about a 2 hour ride from my house). No gift receipts on these gems and will be doing alot of "yes dear" for a while

Nice, you don't see the one piece chassis too often these days (I'd like one myself). When Daryl was selling off what he had, he just had the chassis that uses the AE nose plate.
