Friday was one of the most exciting days I’ve had in a long time! First, my parents were in town (granted, they came Wednesday, but mom wouldn’t let me take vacation, so Friday signified “the weekend with them”). Second, my Garmin 310XT arrived!!!
Now, disclaimer time. Even though it arrived on Friday, I knew I wouldn’t get to use it until after the weekend. It would take time to get set up, time to get used to it, and I knew I would want to spend every second with the ‘rents. I was ok with that…
Last night, when I got back to my apartment (and got laundry started…) I sat down and opened the box. Even without a monitor on, I could feel my heart rate increasing…
First, why do companies have to package every single little piece in it’s own plastic baggie? What happened to putting all the pieces in cutout cardboard, with little twist ties? So much easier.

The monitor was, as expected, a dead battery. So it charged overnight. Can’t wait to use it, although because I am riding the medic unit tonight, I doubt I will get to use it until tomorrow. I will definitely spend part of my medic shift setting it up, though.
More to come, I am sure…
