Racing with Garmin FR60

I got a Garmin FR60 about a month ago and I love it. I have heard some people complain that the distance is inaccurate when using the foot pod but I have found the opposite to be true. I plan on getting the bike sensor for christmas.

The question that I have is that it doesn't seem to be able to switch between running and cycling without stopping. Does anyone have anyone have any experience racing with this setup?

Why? It costs four times more and it is larger. I like the foot pod and don't really care about GPS. The only problem that I see is switching between running and biking. Really the problem that I foresee is that it needs to switch modes in order to communicate with either the foot pod or bike speed/cadence sensor. I don't have the bike sensor yet, so I don't know if it will be a problem or not.

Haven't used the FR60. Waiting for the 910!!! But, I use my bike computer for bike and 410 for running. It'll all be the same when I have the 910.
