Lunch- They started school at regular time today and then sent everyone home 2 hours later because of an ice storm. That they already knew was coming. And ended up barely hitting us. Annoying. Anyways, I went for a run around my home in the freezing rain (26 deg and rainy). Ambit said 750 ft climbing as I did some extra hills on the steep parts of the soccer fields. Did I mention the Ambit finds satellite signal in about 3 seconds? 10 miles in 1:22 (with lots of steep, short hills).

Did I miss your Ambit review? How's the battery life and usability compared to Garmin's offerings? I think my 310XT may be headed for the graveyard this year.

Dale- I just started using it this week. Different than the Garmin, so I'm adjusting. Haven't done any runs over 90 minutes so can't attest to the battery life yet.

I would love an Ambit. Too pricey still. I wish I could review one....For like 3 years....
