...with calibration, that is. Yesterday I tried to calibrate the sensor with a somewhat accurate indoor track. Well, the first problem is that the track has no accurate measure of 1 mile (or 1/2 mile for that matter). You have to run 8.5 laps for one mile - doesn't sound too hard right? Not exactly! This track is not a
symmetrical oval or circle, rather it's twists and turns following the perimeter of the fitness facility.
Okay, no problem - I'll just do my best to approximate 8.5 laps. Well the first mile was not too accurate - something went wrong, not sure what though. I attempted a 1/2 mile calibration which I think may be fairly accurate (or at least until I can get to an outdoor 1/4-mile track
Not too bad, right? No, not really, except when I went to sync my iPod both of my calibration runs did not show up. I know in the big scheme of things this is really no big deal but it is annoying since I'm tracking my progress on the Nike+ site and somehow I feel cheated.
Anyway, here's my progress thus far (minus the 1.5 calibration miles):
