My Caloric Mistake - Part Two

I got so excited talking about missing the tree, that I forgot to tell you about my caloric mistake.

I thought I was awesome. According to my training data, I was burning of 2,800 calories in each run. Dan, of course, tells me that this is impossible and that I should look to burn 150 to 180 calories per km. THEN, I figured out what was wrong.

The NEW GADGET (aka the Garmin Forerunner 305) asks for a profile. My gadget is set to metric. But, when it asked for my weight I entered 220. The gadget thinks I am a 485 pound fat man jogging 10K.

Not very smart. At that weight I would be a 485lb DEAD man.

Anyway, I corrected it to read 100Kg and now I don't look like I am working as hard. Oh well.
