iPod+Nike Kit, I’m a Fan
Like I said yesterday, I got the Nike+iPod kit to motivate me to get on the triathon training, and I have to say I’m a fan. I have quibbles with the website, but those will get resolved eventually (either as upgrades to the website or my own hacking of the xml files on the iPod). The hardware itself is slick and the only issues I’ve had are user-error (the sensor was asleep when I was trying to use it earlier, I had that realization about 30 seconds after I gave up.
Tomorrow I’ll post my hacks to get it working with my New Balance running shoes. I’d glady pluk down the cash for nike’s shoes, but I have wide feet and Nike has decided they don’t want to sell shoes that will fit me. Even going up a half size or a size doesn’t help like it does for a lot of people.
Anyway, handy dandy Amazon whore link included here for your purchasing goodness. It’s $29, if you have a nano get one. Even if you only use it a few times, it’s worth it.
