Does anyone know of a way to compare Garmin files?
I did the same 70.3 in 2022 and 2023, on a road bike and tri, respectively. I ended up going 5 min faster on the road bike despite having a slightly higher normalized power on the tri bike this year. My guess is the difference comes down to weight; the course has 2200 ft of elevation gain and my tri bike is 5 lbs heavier than my road bike. By just eyeballing the data, it looks like I'm slower while climbing. But ideally, it would be nice to be able to compare the data side-by-side or overlayed somehow.
Everything was pretty much identical on the bikes (same wheels, tires, nutrition). The only difference was the bike (2022 Canyon Endurace, 2023 QR PRFour) and different aero helmets (2022 Smith Jetstream [long tail], 2023 Rudy Project The Wing [short tail])
Below are screenshots from Garmin Connect:
