Garmin has launched the Enduro 2, a new multisport GPS smartwatch for ultra-performance athletes.
With solar charging, the device boasts 150 hours of battery life in GPS mode.
The Enduro 2 also features a touchscreen display, maps, advanced training tools, and an LED flashlight.
Garmin is no stranger to endurance athletes, with countless products for runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Today Garmin expanded its lineup by introducing the Enduro 2. A follow-up to last year’s Enduro, the newly launched GPS multisport watch aims to keep up with even the longest performances.
Garmin’s Enduro 2 features a lightweight titanium build, a touchscreen housed under a Power Sapphire lens, and a nylon band. Thanks to solar charging and SatIQ technology, users can stretch the watch’s battery life to up to 150 hours in GPS mode. In smartwatch mode it can last up to 46 days.
But harnessing sunlight and sipping on the battery isn’t the Enduro 2’s only bright spot. It also offers a built-in LED flashlight, similar to that of the Fenix 7 series but twice as bright. If you’re still out on the road after dark, you can change the flashlight to a red safety light setting or a cadence matching strobe mode.
Don’t miss: The best Garmin watches you can buy
For the big race day, the Garmin Enduro 2 features preloaded TopoActive maps, plus tools such as NextFork, a visual race predictor, and a grade-adjusted pace feature to help athletes adapt to different routes. It will even automatically record rest station breaks so you don’t have to pause your run mid-race. These tools are in addition to Garmin’s full suite of health and fitness features including heart rate, stress, SpO2, and sleep monitoring, plus Health Snapshot, Body Battery, and Fitness Age. On the smartwatch front, the Enduro 2 still offers Garmin Pay and incident detection but now also adds music storage.
The Garmin Enduro 2 is not cheap. To strap the above features onto your wrist will cost about $1,100. If that’s in the budget, shop for one today at Garmin.com.
Serena Williams is retiring from tennis after the US Open because she wants to have more children.
The 40-year-old broke the news in a self-penned article in Vogue Magazine and admitted she “hates” the decision.
“I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me,” Williams wrote.
“I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people.
“Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.”
“There is no happiness in this topic for me. I know it’s not the usual thing to say, but I feel a great deal of pain,” she added. “It’s the hardest thing that I could ever imagine. I hate it. I hate that I have to be at these crossroads. I keep saying to myself, I wish it could be easy for me, but it’s not. I’m torn: I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next.”
That includes expanding her family – a topic which is regularly brought up by her five-year-old daughter Olympia, who is desperate to be a big sister.
“Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family,” Williams wrote. “I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.”
Williams revealed she has been trying to have another child with husband Alexis Ohanian for the past year.
“We recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we’re ready, we can add to our family,” she wrote. “I definitely don’t want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out.”
Williams, who won her first match in over a year on Monday at the National Open in Toronto, confirmed that she would play at the US Open in Flushing Meadows at the end of the month. That will be her from her last grand slam event from her.
Williams has won 23 grand slam titles — the most in the Open Era and one short of Margaret Court’s all-time record.
“Unfortunately I wasn’t ready to win Wimbledon this year,” wrote Williams, who lost to Harmony Tan in the first round of the All England Club.
“And I don’t know if I will be ready to win New York. But I’m going to try. And the lead-up tournaments will be fun. I know there’s a fan fantasy that I might have tied Margaret that day in London, then maybe beat her de ella record de ella in New York, and then at the trophy ceremony say, ‘See ya!’ I get that. It’s a good fantasy. But I’m not looking for some ceremonial, final on-court moment. I’m terrible at goodbyes, the world’s worst.
“But please know that I am more grateful for you than I can ever express in words. You have carried me to so many wins and so many trophies. I’m going to miss that version of me, that girl who played tennis. And I’m going to miss you.”
WASHINGTON — Multiple sources confirm to ABC News that former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by FBI agents on Monday.
The sources told ABC News that the search began at around 10 am
The former president put out a statement Monday evening saying federal investigators were there and that they had even gotten into his safe. Trump was not there at the time of the search.
Sources tell ABC News that the search for Mar-a-Lago was related to the 15 boxes of documents that Trump took to his estate when he departed the White House — some of which the National Archives has said was marked classified.
MORE: Republicans speak out against FBI raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate
In January, Trump handed over the documents to the National Archives, and attorneys for Trump said they were searching for any more records they may have.
Law enforcement sources told ABC News the FBI activities at Trump’s compound are court authorized.
The action marks a dramatic escalation in law enforcement scrutiny of Trump and comes as he has been laying the groundwork to make another bid for president.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in his statement.
ANALYSIS: What we know, don’t know about Mar-a-Lago raid
Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including about whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized the search.
A Biden White House official confirmed to ABC News Tuesday morning they received no advanced notice of the FBI raid.
Federal law bars the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations, though it is possible that Trump could try to argue that, as president, he was the ultimate declassification authority.
There are multiple statutes governing classified information, including a law punishable by up to five years in prison that makes it a crime to remove such records and retain them at an unauthorized location. Another statute makes it a crime to mishandle classified records either intentionally or in a grossly negligent manner.
The probe is hardly the only legal headache confronting Trump. A separate investigation related to efforts by Trump and his allies from him to under the results of the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol has also been intensifying in Washington.
And a district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia is investigating whether Trump and his close associates sought to interfere in that state’s election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden.
Fast and lightweight wheels for flat-out riding, at a cost
Pros: Extremely light for such a deep rim; drag-free Cognition V2 hubset; graphic printed directly on carbon; lifetime guarantee
Cons: Inevitably, the cost is high

Zipp’s redesigned 858 NSW has the potential to challenge the perception of what an 80mm+ wheelset is capable of.
Zipp launched the latest incarnation of the 858 NSW alongside the revamped 808, which has an 80mm-deep rim compared to the variable Sawtooth profile of the 82/85mm 858.
In their latest guise, both wheelsets place a greater emphasis on all-round performance, with aero gains amounting to a single watt over the previous generation, but with reduced weight and 23mm-wide (internal) hookless rims designed for wider tires and, Zipp claims, improved comfort.
There are few surprises when it comes to the speed of this wheelset. With rims that vary in depth between 82mm and 85mm – thanks to the Zipp’s Sawtooth profile – the 858 NSW is, without a doubt, a ‘fast’ wheelset. The way in which a rim of this depth holds onto high speeds is always impressive.
There are typically three caveats, though. The first is they can be a handful in the wind. The second is that a deep front wheel doesn’t feel as nimble reacting to changes in direction compared to a shallower-depth wheel. Finally, the extra weight of those deep rims means a wheelset such as the 858 is usually restricted to flatter rides. It’s not something you’d want to ride up a mountain pass, for instance.
Zipp 858 NSW performance

The 858 challenges the above perception, however. With a claimed weight of 1,530g for the wheelset (the 808s weigh a claimed 1,635g), these wheels don’t come with the weight penalty associated with most deep-section wheels.
I’ve ridden the 858s on a few test loops in Indianapolis, home of SRAM/Zipp HQ, and back in the UK. While the terrain where I live is best described as rolling with a few longer ascents thrown in, I’ve been more than happy riding them as a standard option.
Fast? You bet!Russell Burton / Our Media
The biggest difference, in terms of feel, and compared to the previous deep-section wheels I’ve tried, is with the front wheel. It doesn’t exhibit the weighted feel of a comparably deep rim when pushing the bike through turns.
In fact, it feels perceptibly quick to steer and react, and closer to the 58mm-deep Zipp 404s I’ve tested recently, as opposed to a much deeper wheel (you can read my Zipp 404 review).
The Sawtooth profile is complemented by Zipp’s HexFin ABLC dimple pattern.Russell Burton / Our Media
The wheels are undoubtedly rigid, but they don’t feel harsh or overly stiff when riding. Running the right tire pressures no doubt helps. I’d say these ride smoother than other wheels of this depth I’ve ridden over the years.
Unlike the new Zipp 808 launched alongside the 858 NSW, which uses Zipp’s ZR1 DB hubset, the 858s get the Cognition V2 hub. The rear hub disengages the ratchet mechanism when coasting, and then uses magnets to re-engage once you’re back on the pedals.
The wheels use Zipp’s Cognition hubs.Russell Burton / Our Media
So, when you stop pedaling – for instance, diving into a corner – the release of the freehub and the freedom from any sort of drag feels as if the rear wheel is giving you a little acceleration. That makes the 858s a wheelset that feels easy to maintain speed, even when hitting the bends.
It’s early days for me and this wheelset but, in terms of long-term use, the 858s use standard spokes and standard nipples, so should be easy to care for. The graphics are printed directly onto the carbon in the manufacturing process, so they look good and there aren’t any stickers to peel, wear or fade.
The 858 NSW front wheel, with a Goodyear Eagle F1 tubeless tire mounted, weighed 1,091g. Warren Rossiter / Our Media
The rear wheel, also with a tire mounted, comes in at 1,222g. Warren Rossiter / Our Media
Zipp 858 NSW early verdict
The Zipp 858 NSW is an impressive wheelset that, on my early impressions, should be remarkably easy to live with for such a deep set of rims.
The price is, of course, high, but, while the best road bike wheels are often shallower all-rounders, this may just be the first wheel of this depth that you could use pretty much day in, day out (within reason…) .
I’ll reserve final judgment until after a full test of the 858s, when I’ve had more chances to ride them on a wider range of terrain, for longer, and in more varied conditions.
Will Hoskin-Elliott was subbed out of Friday night’s win over Melbourne after impact caused a corked back.
The impact occurred in the second term and following treatment he was able to return to the field. He continued to experience symptoms in his hip flexor and was subbed out during the third quarter.
He is expected to complete straight line running work on Wednesday and will be assessed at the backend of the week.
As reported on Monday, Brodie Grundy will miss the remainder of the 2022 season due to a stress fracture in his ankle.
He will undergo arthroscopic surgery and is expected to make a full recovery in time for pre-season.
taylor adams (adductor) has started a running program and he is progressing as expected.
He will be assessed after round 23.

NARAGANSETT, RI (WFSB) – The Block Island ferry in Rhode Island was a crime scene on Tuesday morning.
Police boarded the boat on Monday night after eyewitnesses reported that a major fight broke out on it.
Some dramatic video from the scene was shared with the media.
Nani Santiago recorded video of police boarding a Block Island ferry the evening of Aug. 8.
Nani Santiago was on the ferry and captured the footage late Monday night as the incident unfolded. Officers could be seen jumping from a transport boat right onto the moving ferry.
A short time later, law enforcement agents rushed through the scene with their guns drawn.
It happened near the Port of Galilee, which is in the Point Judith section of Narragansett.
Eyewitnesses told Channel 3 that the ferry was packed because of a reggae festival. They said a huge fight between two groups of people threw the boat into chaos and that multiple people were hurt.
Police have not confirmed that information. However, reporters captured video of several ambulances leaving the scene.
The situation became a massive investigation.
Channel 3 learned on Tuesday morning that the Narragansett Police Department ceded primary control of the investigation to Rhode Island State Police, although multiple other departments are assisting them along with several K9 units.
A massive investigation was underway at the Block Island ferry terminal at Point Judith.
Lydia Ko produced a strong finish for a top-10 result at the LPGA British Open.
Lydia Ko produced one of the best final rounds to storm to a top-10 finish at the LPGA British Open in Scotland.
Ko started the day in a tie for 19th but shot a 3-under 68, her best of the tournament, to finish up seventh at Muirfield.
Only two golfers produced better efforts on the tough final day of wind. Neither of those were from South African Ashleigh Buhai who took the long route to her first major title, blowing a five-shot lead before eventually securing victory on the fourth playoff hole.
Scott Heppell/AP
South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai took the long route to her first major title, winning the British Open on the fourth playoff hole.
Ko had an early bogey at the par-four third but then shot three consecutive birdies and produced another at the 17th to finish the tournament at 5-under and continue her consistent year.

Buhai was cruising to victory until she found a fairway bunker on the 15th and ended up with a triple bogey.
She carded a 4-over 71 to finish regulation play at 10-under in a tie with South Korea’s In Gee Chun, a three-time major winner.
Buhai held her never to go par, bogey, par, par, eventually getting the better of Chun whose fourth tee-shot down the 18th found a fairway bunker and left her with a bogey.
“I was surprisingly calm,” Buhai said about the clutch green side bunker shot that secured the victory. “My caddy said to me on the last one, I don’t want to brag, but she said `Show them why you’re No. 1 in bunkers this year.’ So, you know, she gave me the confidence. Maybe it’s got something to do with Muirfield and South Africans and bunker shots.”
Ernie Els also won the men’s British Open in a playoff at Muirfield in 2002 after a memorable bunker shot during the final round. This was the first time the Women’s British Open was played at Muirfield, a club that didn’t even allow female members until 2019 following a vote two years earlier.
LPGA/TWITTER
New Zealander’s LPGA tour star Lydia Ko kept her composure with a perfect shot from a sand trap in the third round at Muirfield.
Buhai made things a lot more difficult than they had to be, though.
“I know there are a lot of people in South Africa with lots of gray hairs right now after that 15th hole,” Buhai said. “But I’m very proud of myself, the way I dug deep and kept myself in it to get into that playoff.”
Buhai nearly won it on the third playoff hole, but her long putt for the win pulled up a few inches away from the hole.
For Buhai, the win more than made up for a near-miss at that 2019 Women’s British Open, when she led the event at the halfway stage at Woburn but finished fifth.
“Forgive me, there will be a few tears,” Buhai said during the trophy presentation. “Obviously there’s a lot of hard work and many years of dedication going into this.”

Defense remains in trial of man charged in Randolph motorcycle crash

Normally I’d put up a spoiler warning for a leak post like this, if you want to go in blind to whatever a new subclass might be in Destiny 2, presumably revealed alongside Lightfall during the August 23rd, showcase, but whatever this is, it’s hard to extract too much detail from it. Only that a new subclass does seem to exist.
The image above comes from the page of a Bungie artist who was showing off an existing finisher animation in a video. The problem? That would be this strange looking subclass UI in the bottom left, as seen above, which probably wasn’t supposed to be kept in there. Some things to note:
It’s green. That reflects the long-running theory that the next subclass would probably use a green color, given the existing palette so far. This leans into theories about a poison or decay-based subclass, though we don’t have any confirmation of that here, just the color.
The new subclass/super symbol. This is not anything I recognize from anywhere else in the game, and the implication here is that this is a new super. It’s two lines surrounded by a circle, and even though usually these symbols are easy to match with heir super, I genuinely don’t know what this one is meant to be.
Placeholders. It’s possible that symbol is a placeholder and not the final version. Similarly, the grenade and melee symbols are existing ones, repeated, so presumably those are placeholders. We are over six months away from Lightfall, after all, and I would not expect these to be finalized.
Three melee charges. That’s something you don’t see every day, so it’s interesting to note. Again, the “charge” melee symbol is there, but that is likely not final.
In short, despite the excitement of what appears to be a fifth subclass leaking, there isn’t a whole lot we can confirm about this. The biggest news is probably the green color and the new super symbol, but it’s hard to extract all that much past the surface level here.
The assumption has very much been that Lightfall would indeed bring a new subclass to the game, after Witch Queen did not give us one with Bungie opting to do 3.0 element reworks all year long. We are also supposed to get Arc 3.0 information soon, or maybe even during the showcase. it is not a guarantee that even a Lightfall reveal would definitely debut the new subclass, as that could be something they save for later. I’d be a little surprised, but it’s possible.
The main theories revolve around Egregore, the corruptive darkness plant on the Leviathan, or a more generalized poison theme. Older theories used to be that we could be getting a Hive soulfire class, but that rumor seems to have mostly dissipated.
While we will get a final reveal, most likely, on August 23, it’s still two weeks until then, and that’s plenty of time for more leaks. We’ll see what comes out next.

Andy Lee may be considered one of the funniest blokes on Aussie TV, but the joke’s been turned on him in an excruciatingly awkward prank call which has played out on radio.
Airing on the Kyle and Jackie O Show Monday morning, the 41-year-old Australian comedian is heard during a phone chat with his long-term girlfriend Rebecca Harding, 31, who tells him she’s signed him up to speak at a charity gig at the last minute.
Things goes south quickly when Lee, who said he left an intense meeting to take Harding’s call, flat-out declines to help.
Here’s how it went down:
Rebecca: i’ve got [bleep] begging me, they’ve had someone pull out [of an event] and they need a celebrity for this thing in the office they’re doing tomorrow night and I said you can do it. It’ll be 15 minutes.
Andy: No. It’s an absolute no. I don’t care how long it is.
A: You’ve just got to auction yourself off for a lunch you’ll go to with one of the girls …
A: (Laughs) No, god no.
A: I’ve told her that you’re doing it and they’ve posted it and told the whole office you’re going.
A: Tell her that I’m undoing it. I’m not doing it.
A: It’ll be good promotion for The 100 [Lee’s show].
A: (Laughs) 80 people … I may as well walk down the street and hand out flyers. I know she can be a persistent friend, but no.
A: I’ve told her you can do it, so you’re doing it. It’ll be 15 minutes tomorrow night.
A: You’ve explained to me the scheduled appointment I’m just not making it.
A: It’s for charity … You’re going to come off as such ad**k if you don’t do it.
A: I’m not af***ing d**k. I never said I’d do it.
A: I said that you can do it; it’s a last minute thing for a friend.
A: Well ring someone else. Get a contestant from MAFS. You can attend with a cardboard cut-out of me.
A: Well then would you do the date?
A: No … What’s the charity?
A: I’m not sure – I didn’t ask.
A: That’s another thing as well, the answer’s no. And we don’t even know what the charity is.
A: It’ll be 15 minutes of your time
A: It’s your problem not mine. Enjoy your problem.
Harding then reveals she was “only lying” and it was all a prank for the Kyle and Jackie O Showto which a dumbfounded Lee responded, “Oh f***ing hell, I cannot believe I’ve failed for this.”
Lee previously pranked Harding in a similar fashion on the show, in which he was heard telling his girlfriend he “regretted” getting their new puppy and that he wanted to get rid of it.
She said she was left “shaking in anger” after the exchange.
