Getting used to Garmin Connect

So strava (one of the big names in apps that track running biking, and swimming) is something I've used for a while. They've always irritated me, not so much with their constant badgering to subscribe, but with their endless irritating add-ons. Honestly, I would have subscribed just to get all that crap to go away. I don't care, and I never will, how fast I ran across such-and-such bridge compared to a stranger I will never meet. I get tired of getting to the end of a run across a new bit of the city I've never run across before, just to get nine new medals about how well I've done across arbitrarily defined and often stupidly titles segments. I e-mailed them to ask whether or not I could shut all that nonsense off if I subscribed' of course I couldn't. But they were getting my data for free (and it's got value), so I felt justified in taking the minimum services that I actually wanted from them for free. I want:

A. A record of the run/bike/swim, including start/stop time, speed, heart rate, elevation change, and maybe calories burned/average power.

B. That's it.

But now they've gone and screwed the whole thing up even worse. So, given that I've recently started trying Garmin Connect, and that it tells me all that I want to know, I don't have much to hold me to strava at all. So I'll be trying to download all my strava data, and letting them know it's very simple; if they can give me what I want, and nothing else, I'll subscribe for a reasonable price. Otherwise, I'll delete my account.

Anyway, I got a decent strength training session in today. There were also three bike rides, with the final (and longest) one after donating a double unit of platelets. My attempts at keto have thus far proven mostly successful, but I'm having difficulty getting my keto mojo meter delivered, so it's difficult to verify. Tomorrow I will be drinking a bit of OJ, mostly so it doesn't go to waste and to improve the uptake of my iron supplement, but I'll be running immediately afterwards, so all the sugars should get used immediately. I will be looking into making various types of jerky, to provide for a very low carb but high protein snack. Friday will involve no appreciable cardio, but Saturday should be my first brick (bike then immediately run) session. Oh, and I borrowed a friend's aeropress, so tomorrow may bring the first mug of bulletproof coffee.
