Three pro cycling tours - through France, Missouri and California - have provided three totally different experiences as we bring the action of the pro peloton and Team Garmin's highlights to you through the Garmin Blog, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, the most recent being from Dave Zabriskie's Tour o...

My first 48 hours in California have been brisk, both in pace and temperature. Day 1 started with the Tour of California press conference, which saw Team Garmin's Christian Vande Velde on an all-star panel representing "the strongest lineup to ever compete on U.S. soil." I knew these guys were f...

With tomorrow being V-day, I thought it’d be timely to talk about matters of the heart. More specifically, how Forerunner can help you follow yours. For those who’ve never trained with heart rate, the big question is “why would I need to?� Essentially, it’s so you can see whether you’re...

The first time I saw Magnus Backstedt - I mean really saw him, who he is and the impact he has - was the Stage 4 time trial last summer in Cholet. Sure I'd been with Team Garmin's cyclists and staff for nearly a week at that point, but one scene summed up what I now truly appreciate about the 6'4" ...

Down here at Caddy Confidential, we're going nuts. Stir crazy. We're stuck indoors, cold and grumpy, seeing colleagues finish marathons in sunny Florida and cheering on Team Garmin as they pedal back into form Down Under. We're checking the weather religiously waiting for one good day to get out and...

While some of my partners in blogging are in Vegas talking up our newest product offerings at the international Consumer Electronics Show, I’m about to depart for sunny Orlando to take a big step (make that many, many steps) in my running career. This Sunday, at 6:30 a.m., I’ll be anxiously pois...

One of my favorite parts of being on Twitter is hearing from Garmin users - especially when they get one as a gift. So you can imagine the fun I've been having this past week as hundreds of Tweets mentioned Garmin - either in anticipation of giving or in appreciation after getting. For those of you ...

No superstitions to jinx Team Garmin for today’s stage 13. Julian Dean (far left) made his way into the final fray for a massive sprint, putting him again in 9th place for the day—same top 10 placement as yesterday. See stage 12 ride stats, recorded by Edge 705. Christian Vande Velde has maintai...

What I learned during a week with Team Garmin at the Tour de France. You need sunglasses, an umbrella and a jacket - if not at the same time, in 30-minute rotations. It's possible to eat crepes every day and not have the same kind twice in a week. Even when having two per meal (more on that later). ...

This week, Garmin-sponsored triathletes Jenna Shoemaker and Ben Collins have more experiences to share about their training with the Garmin Edge 705, along with links to their training data in Garmin Connect. Jenna:This will be my last post before I head off to Europe! With the rest of “Team Garmi...
