Time flies?

I know I've written about my toy a bit lately here and here. But read this and take caution.

A co-worker of mine ran the Berlin Marathon this past weekend. Some miles in (about 14 or so if I recall) he stopped at a water stop. A short while later, he reached up and went to tap a friend on the shoulder and thought to himself "my arm feels a bit light". After a moment or two delay he realized that his Garmin was gone.

To the best of his knowledge it got knocked off in the confusion around the water tables. He went back to look for it, but there was just too much debris on the ground.

Needles to say, he ran the rest of the race angry and frustrated. He said he just jogged it the rest of the way.

That sucks. I guess the lesson here is make sure your watch is securely fastened to your wrist. That, and make sure you have insurance!
