Ok, so i guess i might have spoken too soon, runners do suffer from equipment failures too... although the real failure was in mine. Should have just taken the camel-pak, but i didn't want to carry it in addition to my work bag, so had to run with one strap over my next and the bag under my arm. Yes it slowed me down, but i had the time, and i choose not to be too obsessive about my training schedule; every run is a good run. Got changed in the (really quite nice!) toilets at Picadilly tube, from Picadilly across Green Park, past Buckingham Palace and towards Fulham, got directions to the Kings road home a nice lady and plodded on, bag under arm. Full of confidence and determination i arrived home in the perfect mood to plow through a pile of paperwork and bills that needed attention. [didnt wait for the Garmin to track the satellite, so no info today!]

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that runners really suffer equipment failure, it happen to me too..After that incident I always buy quality gear.
Hopefully i'll learn from just one mistake rather than making the same one again!
ReplyDeleteHope you learned from it. It is really normal for runners to have failure in equipments..that's why you will only know what's best until you have tried it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lessons have you learnt Smartwool?
