I am in a challenge with some friends and we are all trying to all run our fast 1 mile efforts (on a track). I am using a Suunto Ambit 2S. I am confused as I have the GPS set to 1 mile laps. I toe up to the line with GPS on and ready to start. I go, run my 4 laps around the university track (yes its .25mi per lap) and when I finish hit the button as soon as I cross. Realize my button push might be 1 second slow or something. However the numerous times I have run on different tracks, before I cross the line on the final lap with 15 meters or so to go the auto 1 mile lap alarm sounds? I watch the pace as I am running and it shows a 5:40- 5:35 ish pace...but...
Movescount data shares the following:
run time: 5:47 (and what I see when I hit the stop button at the finish line)
distance 1:04
pace 5:34
auto lap alarm (again set at 1 mi): 5:34:60 covering 1 mile.
So why is my run time 5:47 and my auto 1 mile lap alarm so different (5:34:60). Again I would understand a second or two off of me hitting the stop button at the end of the 4th lap, but 10 + seconds no way?
and why does the lap alarm go off before I have even crossed the line on the 4th lap. I understand GPS has about 1% wiggle room but is that what I am seeing?
What am I missing here? Thanks for the help.
