I'd like to borrow another runner's memory.I've been traveling a lot, and it's easy to scope out a route near each hotel using Google Maps' measurement tool and some Street View sleuthing. But knowing when a turn is coming up, or the sidewalk becomes choppy dirt, or the hill evens out just past the firehouse .. you don't know those on the first run.
My Nike GPS watch gives me telemetry after each run. What I need is telemetry before. Start out the route on my second run, and I'm a little better prepared for the details.
But is the novelty of the first-time around "worth" something?
Nope. What if the borrowed runner is used to marathons .. I'll bet she'll have a different stride and pace than me. Or what if this is a noontime stroll I'm borrowing .. maybe he's never seen it in the evening with the city lights glimmering. "Interesting, I've never done it this slow/late/sober/male/lean ..."
So, GPS running-accoutrement makers, how about it? Telemetry after my run is so 5k ago. I'll pay extra to have it up-front.
