Huge sigh of relief this morning when I got my Garmin Edge bike computer working again. About a week ago it stopped syncing to my computer. I've still been using it, but without a GPS track on my computer my workouts seem to not really count. Yea, I'm that much of a data geek.
Yesterday I bought a new USB-Mini-USB cable from Radio Shack. No dice.
I was particularly worried about it because I used it yesterday on my first open water swim practice and really wanted to see the tracks.
So I put some rubbing alcohol in a syringe, got out a magnifying glass, and carefully cleaned the contacts on the back of the device. Just squirt a little alcohol onto each one and carefully rub it a few times with the pointy end of the syringe. Squirt in a bit more alcohol once you're done and wipe it out with a scrap of cloth to clean the receptacle itself.
Plugged it back in and it worked. Now off to ride. Yay!
Also did an open water swim yesterday. Went okay. Had a problem with my hands freezing. Might try some new stuff today or tomorrow and will report on it then.
