Just for kicks I wore my Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS to mow the lawn (I know for a fact I am not the only person to ever do this!). I hit start when I plugged it in, and didn’t stop it until I was completely finished. The stats were pretty funny:
1.66km in 51:23, for an agonizing 30:59 min/km pace.
Now when you consider that I went around two trees, then back to get the cord around, take a water break, get around the shed and stop to shoo away a toad, that’s not so bad, is it? I wonder how I’d do with a reel mower…
