OK, got my Garmin Forerunner 50 from the woot.com sale last week. I basically just bought it for the foot pod, as the Forerunner 50 with foot pod was significantly cheaper than buying just the foot pod. I have a Forerunner 305 and love it, but if only it were waterproof for the swim......

So my question is, what if I wear the Forerunner 50 for the swim, hop on the bike with the speed/cadence sensor on, the go to the run with the foot pod on the shoe. Would the Forerunner 50 detect the speed/cadence sensor, and then later the foot pod, 'on the fly' during a race as you switched to the bike and the run? And, if that works, would the Forerunner 50 display run pace in minutes per mile - it seems from the manual that you have to choose the option of showing speed as mph or min per mile.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
