Re: Putting on watch/garmin for Ironman Run [NeverEnough]

For those of you who use a bike computer, and then put on a garmin/watch in T2…..do you just take off and not have tracking for the first bit of your run, while it is acquiring satellites. The 910 drag thread got me thinking and the data from the swim is pretty useless….apart from seeing if you swam a straight line.


What I did for 70.3 this weekend. I used edge 500 for bike and forerunner 305 for run. When I get to T2, I turn on the watch, get on my shoes, race belt, hat, and then grab my watch. I put it on my wrist while running to run out. Usually by the time I am into the first 100 or 200 yards of run, I have satellites, I hit start. I miss maybe 20-30 seconds of data. I hear that if you clear data in watch that you acquire satellites sooner. Not sure if that is true or myth.
