Veteran  209  Wyoming |  Subject: Garmin race settings?Hi, I have my first sprint tri tomorrow!!! WOW...can't believe it is already here! Anyway, for all your Garmin users, what do you like to have displayed on your screen during a race? Also, I haven't decided if I should use the HR strap or not...I do have a short jog between pool and bike that I could use to put it on. Your thoughts and experience would be most appreciated! Blessings, Sharie |

Extreme Veteran 369 Maine | Subject: RE: Garmin race settings? First, good luck tomorrow  I just bought a Garmin as well, have used it for 1 bike and 1 run so far and Love it ! I too would be interested in people's preferences for set up display during a race. I would wear the HRM for the entire race, my .02 |

Member 182 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Garmin race settings? depends what kind of garmin unit you are using, I have the 310xt which does bike/run so generally I have: HR Pace/Speed (avg mile pace for running, mph for bike) Distance Time Also, for the HR monitor, you should find that most are actually waterproof and can probably use them in the pool/open water, I have the regular one that comes with the Garmin Edge 705 and wear it for racing all the time, I use HR a lot when I train/race |

Master 1485 | Subject: RE: Garmin race settings? I wouldn't be real worried about the data that is displayed during a sprint. In a sprint you should go all all out. You can look at the data after the race but during the race just do as the name says and SPRINT! Good Luck! |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: Garmin race settings? Sharie, Good luck on your sprint!!! I wear my HR strap under my sport bra which for me is under my wetsuit(all of my tri so far have been OWS swims) It stays put and doesn't bother me on the swim. I'm not sure what I would do on a pool swim if you are wearing a swimsuit...are you wearing a tri suit? My settings are time elapsed, hr, pace and distance traveled for the run settings. For the bike settings I have time elapsed, hr, speed and cadence. I haven't quite figured out the multisport function yet.
