MASSIV: The Statistics

Hiking through four mountain regions, more than 400 kilometres over a total of 21 days, can generate a ton of data.

In my case, most of the data were collected by my Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar watch, temperature data was collected with a connected Garmin Tempe, and satellite breadcrumbs were collected with my Garmin inReach Mini safety device. More on the inReach tracking here.

One of the things I was curious about while planning this expedition was what kind of data and statistics I could collect and whether or not they would be of any practical use. The answers are probably that you can collect a vast amount of data, but the usefulness of at least some of them is limited.

No statistics section would be complete without some graphs:

In the highly unlikely event that anyone would care to see more data, may I recommend just reaching out through my Facebook page, and I’d probably be happy to share. The Excel spreadsheet with all the imported Garmin data is surprisingly comprehensive.
