I just KNOW I'd hit the wrong button on a race course (or just as I'd be lining up) and have a panic attack. I use it for mainly just the basic GPS feature, and I like to refer back to my stats AFTER I've crossed the finish line. And that's good enough for me ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-13855716336611433672021-07-05T15:29:08.066-05:002021-07-05T15:29:08.066-05:00Thank you, Marcia!!
