Display Setup on 310xt?
I did a search and didn't find anything. So, quick question....
What do you have on the display for your 310?
Here's what I set up. Now, I'm new to this one, which is why I'm asking, so if I need to change a field, please tell me the logic behind it.
Bike: Top Left- Watts, Top Right- Speed,
Bott Left- Total Time, Bott Right- Distance
Run: Top- Pace for Lap, set to auto reset every mile (?)
Bott Left- Total Time, Bott Right- distance
Any other tips on how to use this thing efficiently?
I don't plan on using it on the swim.
Anyone keep it on the wrist during the bike? Is it that big of a deal to roll the 310 to the topside of my arm when aero?

For bike - my common fields on top row are 3s avg watts and 30s avg watts
For run - my common field is Pace [note - I find the instantaneous pace to be stable enough for my purposes.]
by 'common fields', do you mean a field that does NOT change while the others are scrolling?
I wear mine for the swim -- under the wetsuit if it is a wetsuit race -- and haven't had a problem losing one {knock on wood!!}. But I don't use a quick-release, just the standard band. When I am on my bike, I rotate it to the inside of my wrist as I find it much easier to roll my arm out a smidge in order to see the screen rather than taking my hand off the bar to roll my wrist inward.
@Peter- I find it interesting that you don't watch total time. But, I suppose following lap time keeps you in that 'box' that R & P coach about. I may try that.
I did a run this morning, have uploaded it into GarminConnect already. Now, how do I get it into WKO+ and Strava?
I enjoy this setup....
total time
avg pace & total dist
HR
avg pace & lap pace
I almost never look as lap pace until the x.50 alert due to the unpredictable accuracy of pace over short distances - esp less than 0.25 miles.
Rarely look at overall time/pace/dist but sometimes helps to see the big picture.
Typically run by pace but use HR as a governor to stay in my box pushing up hills or dealing with heat & dehydration.
On the bike just 1 screen: Time, Ave speed, Dist but I never look at it but have Time alert at 15 minutes for nutrition & Joule interval reset
Chris-
For me the easiest way is to just download the .TCX file (in the Activities list screen on Garmin Connect across the top bar the option for Export ...click then click TXC file)....then upload the file from my computer into TraininingPeaks, WKO or Strava...
I do it this way particularly for WKO...it seems when I synch/load directly between Training Peaks and WKO something odd happens with the data...
Hi Steve,
I have a 310 too and am interested in the idea of using a time alert on the bike.
How do you set that up? Do you have to download some sort of workout or can you set it up directly from the watch?
Thanks,
Erik
Anyone have any issue with batterlife during Ironamn? If I have it on let say 1 hour prior to start...will it last 12-14hrs?
JL- I've been told that the norm is to turn it on, acquire the satellite, go do the swim, hit T1 and put the watch on, and there will be plenty of battery to get thru your race! Especially since you're all done by the 9hr mark!
Battery life on the 310 is excellent. Probably 18+ hours. 12-14 hours would be no problem.
I accidently tested that out in 2010 the day of the Texas 70.3. I turned it on about 20 minutes before my race started (let's say 7am for arguments sake). I did the race, forgot to turn it off and spent the remainder of the day and most of the night in the hospital. It was on my wrist the whole time. I finally turned it off at about 12am or 1am. It had been on for 17-18 hours and still had about 10% battery life remaining.
