Dam old Garmins. For some reason my 76S won't download properly for Davis. Therefore I'm relying on my Garmin 12 for a scored track log. On old Garmin 12's, they're 13 seconds off on their "atomic clock." I'm loosing 13 seconds on my goal arrival time. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm racing in with other pilots in close proximity.
I came in 5 seconds behind Dustin on the 215 mile day. The data shows an 18 second difference. Yesterday, I came in stacked with Shapiro, two seconds apart. The data will show 15 seconds. It might be a point or two difference, but I've lost places in meets before by a margin of 2 points out of 5000.
I'm going to ask to borrow a GPS in the pilot's meeting this morning.
