M3:D55 Nike+ Insanity
Today was the day I was starting my Nike+ challenge runs for Lilla's (Lilla: Self-fulfilling Prophecy) challenge. I was immediately frustrated. I had problems right away getting my wristband to see my sensor. It just wouldn't synch up and start recording.
I looked through the http://www.nikeplus.com knowledge base and saw some ideas to try. None of them worked. I called their support line (amazing but they were open on a Sunday) and the gentleman tried quickly to help me but was unsuccessful. He told me to return it.
I went back to 24 Hour Fitness and returned the item and got a new one. After charging it I headed off for a 1 mile run just to test it out. Immediately I faced more frustration (but caused by myself). As I was running the USB portion flew off the wristband. I stopped and put it back on (but the time is continuing to run). I ran again and got to about a 1/2 mile and looked at the wristband and the USB thing was missing again. I had to walk back and find it. Finally I noticed that there was a place to secure it into its slot. After securing it, I never had another problem. However, it definitely added about 90 seconds to my run.
In addition, all the stopping and starting stressed out my right calve muscle a little bit. I rubbed that down though.

Geewhiz Michael...what problems, but so glad you are in this with us. Some of those runners are like deer. Little ole walker like me doesn´t stand a chance of getting too far ahead, but is a challenge regardless. Take care.

Hi Lynda, its funny because if you look at the graph of my run you can see the two places where the thing fell off because my pace went way down.

Hi Michael - I did the exact same thing! I was on the treadmill, and the USB flew off. I plugged it in, noticed it kept slipping out...and then noticed the hole. You are not alone...that sensor is a tricky one. So glad that you joined the running group.
