Hi All,
when you guys do triathlon in open water, what GPS distance readings do you get?
For me in my last races it was the following:
1.5k race => read: 1.7 k
1.9k race => read: 2.255 k
2k race => read: 2.4k
1.9k race => 2.16 k
1.5k race => 2.01 k
the watch I am using is a Suunto Ambit 3 peak.
But I don't want to embark on a discussion about open water GPS accuracy. I would just like to get a feel for the numbers good swimmers get...I have the impression that I am zigzagging a lot and maybe my GPS readings account for that. But if other swimmers also constantly get higher distances then maybe it is not so bad....
Thanks a lot for any kind of input.
Take care and enjoy your off season.
