No. Its actually a lot of fun. And so long as one is not doing anything fraudulent, its also innocent fun.

[emoji106] got it ! But, its quite interesting that Discovery can't pick up that the file has been cropped, given that they can pick up if the .fit file has not been uploaded to GC from a Garmin device.

Isn't it a lot easier to just stop your garmin when you wanna cool it down to less than 80% , and then hit re-start ?

900 now for me. What peeves me is that I did 3 x 300 point workouts this week, but only one pulled through from GC. -so I did not meet my 800 target for the week, yet they still moved the goalposts up by 100 points. If the target keeps going up, and the glitches continue to naai me, I really will lose interest VAR. carbon has a point about refusing to send screen shots. I did send, and it helped fokol. I can't be expected to work, hub, ride idt, do family commitments, AND have time to send screen shots every time i get off the bike. Something's gotta give.

Your argument (or rather, conspiracy theory) does not fly. Here are but a few reasons why - I am sure an industry expert can come up with a lot more. 1. Workout data in no way impacts upon medical aid claims, and neither does it affect life cover. Myles, correct me if I am wrong in this, but there is no suggestion anywhere in any of the Health or Life products which would entitle Discovery to lawfully repudiate a claim due to a sedentary lifestyle; 2. Discovery make their money by insuring people. To suggest that they have an interest in rendering us all uninsurable really does not make any sense; 3. Whether I workout at 60, 70 or 80% of my max hr has got nothing to do with what cover I do or do not qualify for. If they are getting my Vitality data, I am already a Health or Life client anyway. 4. Anyway, medical aids cannot cherry pick their members. After waiting a 3 month joining period, they are obliged to cover you. 5. There is no basis to suggest that Discovery are abusing data to use it as a source for repudiating claims. I would be extremely careful about making such an allegation on a public forum. Edit: I am sorry to say this, but the increasing vehemence of your anti Discovery-ness has stripped you of your ability to make coherent posts on this thread.

I would be cautious about sending them 2 sets of incompatible data of the same workout. They might think you strapped your hrm to your dog. Or maybe to an avo.

Why would they want to do that?

I did send a screen shot via twitter dm. But still my Tuesday workout does not reflect. It seems to me that you get your points only when Jupiter aligns with Mars, sorta. Now I have 2 days to get 800 points or, horror of horrors, no smoothie!. I will not be able to bear this hardship, so I have now emailed a screenshot.

One of the Discovery I T guys is an anarchist. On Friday he arrived at work, and said: Guys, let's take the system ape puss for a week, and see how many bitch-slap emails / tweets / hub posts etc we can generate. Result. Things are not going smoothie.

Myles, does team vitality automatically renew if you don't terminate?

Holy roller and his boa are dead. But his legacy lives on.

Kudos to her, amazing!

Swiss, how did your wife do?

Aaah, so cute! Gen, please post a pic of that chair in 6 months!

natrix, I don't think this will work. When you re-link, won't all the missing workouts automatically upload to Discovery? Another point : I don't necessarily think that you only get escalated when you meet your goals. Last week I did absolutely zero exercise due to bronchitis- and they still bumped me up to 700. Like it or not, I reckon everyone is going up to 1200.

Legally, the T's &C's cover them. They are entitled to change the target. But, I think it was real sneaky to hook people into the Apple watch deal on the basis of ludicrously easy points targets. Had I taken the bait, I would also be angry.

I asked because I felt that that you were being deliberately belligerent and demeaning of Myles, to no real end. Also. Your posts, just like mine, are "just another post". You are not the the Messiah, and your posts are not the 2nd coming.

For me, its just another post.

Barhugger. Did you take the Apple watch deal? Are you a disgruntled vitality client, or is this just a fun pissing contest for you?

I loved "I am Pilgrim", so can't wait for this!

Thanks, gonna give it a shot!

The irresistible subtext of that quote: Discovery don't mind being defrauded outta 100 points at a time, but not more than that please!

O...k...

Yip, it's a shed-load of moola to spend on a trainer. I used a Tacx Flow with Imagic upgrade, which I loved, until it was fried by lighting in December. I decided to replace it with the Wahoo Kikr SNAP, which at that time (just before Nenegate) came in at 12K (think its still about the same price, but I could be wrong on that). Anyway, its brilliant, and I am really happy with it. I am convinced that it does the same job as the direct drive machines. Ok, so it can't handle a 25% gradient - but heck, neither can I. Another thing to remember, about the direct drive units: If you have both Campagnolo and Shimano equipped bikes (I do), you would need to make a choice as to which you train with. The on-wheel units give you the freedom to alternate differently equipped bicycle at will.
