I thought some of you might get a kick out of viewing the NYC Triathlon as viewed from a satelite connected to the Garmin 305 watch on my wrist. The entire race is captured in motion by watching the link below. This includes exceptional moments such as me floating down the Hudson (I floated pretty straight except when I was trying to get out of the way of the wave coming up behind me – didn’t want to get an impeding penalty while filming), cycling up the Westside Hwy, dropping my camera and having to go back for it, and running into and around Central Park.

To make it more enjoyable, do the following:

• Click on “Large” to make the map large
• Click on “Hybrid” to see roads and satellite views
• Click on the “Plus” Sign to zoom in as far as possible
• Click on the drop down menu in the player and select .5X so you can follow without getting dizzy
• Then click the blue triangle that starts the program to play

You’ll then get to see me cycling over the tops of cars, through trees and apparently running into the Lasker Pool in Central Park. I’m so fast it’s almost like the cars on the highway are standing still. Such are the limitations of GPS around buildings and trees.

Try it and let me know what you think. Here’s a link also to the main file.
