I'm a 12ish hour (looking for better this time) IM guy and have yet to have a watch make it through the entire event. I'm curious what settings those in the know here use to ensure that they get the full distance recorded. I want to record HR and Power (bike and run), in addition to the normal distance and time. I'm hoping to use the triathlon mode. Planning to run my 520 on the bike so I can see the numbers, but that's not really relevant.
My HRM is either a Garmin dual mode, or tri-strap, with a preference for the tri-strap. My bike PM is the Power Tap pedals. My run PM is the 1st gen Stryd. (Yes, I like data. I'm hoping someone comes out with a wearable real time sodium hydration and nutrition monitor soon.)
Can anyone share with me the settings they use to enable the watch to last the entire race? I just had the watch replaced due to battery concerns, but I am also afraid I'm missing some setting adjustment.
Thanks in advance.
