Whacky Garmin Tricks

During my run today, my Garmin (an old 205 which has worked just fine for 4 years) was acting a bit funny. The miles were off a few times a bit more than I'd like. Then, when I hooked it up to the PC when I got home, I noticed the elevation looked really weird. I know what it should look like, and this wasn't it. I don't use the elevation information right off the watch (and onto Training Center) because its unreliable, but I thought I'd put it on garminconnect and take a look at it, with the straight data and then with the correction enabled. The two below are the contrasting elevation charts for the same run. I guess I fell down a 1000 foot chasm and didn't notice it (I'm amazed I was able to run out of that!).

Anybody seen this before??

But the REAL question is, did you maintain your pace on the way down and the way back up?

It was that ice crevice, glad you survived!

I like how you instantly ascended almost 1600 feet.

He must have repelled down that cliff face...

But seriously, no I have not witnessed this...

rappelling down I understand -- but how in the hell did you climb up so fast?

I ate a gel just before the ascent, no problem!

what's even cooler is it's 1000 ft below sea level. must have been dark down in that cave.
