Measuring a 100 miler

4 watchers

I haven't used it with my 310XT yet but I'm guessing it will be about the same as for the 610. It does seem clumsy at first and is a bit of a faff to put on/take off at CPs but was comfortable to wear and running with the charger in my hand wasn't a hassle. If you make sure there are new batteries in the charger... In SDW50 I wore it for 7 miles in total and that gave me plenty of charge to get me to the end. I could have taken it off sooner but didn't want to stop other than at a CP. Of course, we could both just buy a regular watch that has loads of staying power What 100 miler do you have your eye on?
