I'm considering starting to race with a Garmin, because I'd really like to earn one of these in the fall...

.2 ? HA ! Better get a Suunto for that type of accuracy.

long live the timex 100-hour chronograph.

Haha! Oh the days when a marathon time was just a marathon time and not adjusted for this or that. :-)

But if it's a downhill Utah marathon, it might need to say "25.9".

If you were a true Garmin user, you'd have that thing out to the hundredths place. You have so much to learn...

I can't wait until they come out with a Garmin that is accurate to the thousandth.

Paul - "25.9" would be one of those marathons that Jon runs... where he'll win in 3:30 despite being in 2:30 road shape, because the course has 19,000 feet of elevation gain :-)
My Garmin is definitely accurate to the mile. That's close enough.

I have exactly one bumper sticker on my car. It says " > 26.2 "

I just got one recently and am not really all that impressed with it's accuracy. What did I miss all those years? Nothing.. Utterly useless for speedwork.

I get a kick out of the blind faith people put in them.
They're great tools, especially for tempo runs and longer road reps. Most reasonable people that understand how satellite work understand the limitations :-)

Jake, when I go mountain running with friends we get a kick out of comparing what our watches say when we're at a summit or when we're finished. Jun tells us that anything within .25 mile and 100' elevation difference is pretty dang good.

Ha! Even my wife got a laugh out of this one.
