I had gotten a replacement strap and sender combo last year when I thought I’d lost mine, and I finally found it in the secret hiding place I’d never forget. Today I opened it up and it paired instantly. It should, being a fellow Suunto and all.<\/p>\n

The main reason I had to get this bad boy up and running is that I am going to run Quandary this weekend. The Wahoo Fitness App is good. It works. It records some interesting data from my Tickr Run sender. Some of it only when I’m moving fast enough. The problem is that cell service is spotty on Quandary. I know the places where it is generally consistent. That’s not too much of a problem though, as the packet can be resent to Strava later when I do have good service.<\/p>\n

The main problem is that some notifications and any use of the camera can cause the app to die a miserable death. Sometimes the data is recoverable, but sometimes Strava spits it back and says it doesn’t taste right.<\/p>\n

So I can’t take any pics on Quandary or send and receive texts Usually I take a bunch of pics if my hands are warm enough. Generally I text my wife progress reports. So I don’t really want to be using the Wahoo Fitness App on Quandary.<\/p>\n

That leaves me with having to locate the heart strap. I did. I tested it this morning. Now I’m happy.<\/p>\n
