I've got a couple of questions about the Garmin 305 that I'm wondering if people have some insight on.
(1) When I do brick workouts, the unit doesn't always save both parts. For example, I'll do the bike workout, then get off, set the watch up for a running workout and then do the run. When I come home, it downloads only the run part and acts like the bike leg never happened even though it appeared to be recording data the entire time. Funny thing is, this doesn't happen all the time, more like 70%. I can't figure out why sometimes it records everything and other times it doesn't.
(2) Is there a way to export an individual workout? Right now when I click on "export" it saves everything I've ever done into whatever filename I select. This ends up being a real pain when I read in the data with Trainingpeaks because it takes forever to read all the data from the garmin file. To make matters worse, trainingpeaks asks me questions for all of these files, something akin to "Do you want to overwrite this file?". ridiculous when there are 100 files it has to load.
This brings me to another point. I'm getting fed up with trying to run Trainingpeaks because the only way to get it to work on my mac is through Virtual PC. This is slower than slow. Is there any decent software for the mac that will read in powertap, garmin and related stuff???
