@frederic and I would always forget to hit the buttons. The last thing I am thinking about at aid stations is to make sure I hit my lap button.

Usually the last thing I am wanting to during a race is hit any buttons!

@rob33 so according to DC Rainmaker it does not stop the recording, it is just a black screen with a timer while everything is still measured in the background. The advantage is that the time the black rest screen is on it will be classified as “rest” in Connect. It is more or less what happens with strength exercises.

I typically lock the screen during a race. I have 2 screens for ultras, very simple as well as a loaded route and altitude profile. On my phone or on a laminated paper I have a couple sets of aid station times for two different finish times, my best if all goes well and the cut off times. I usually save these as a wallpaper for my phone so if I turn my phone on I can see the aid stations, elevation gain loss between each aid, pace and time between aid stations.
I don’t pay much attention to the watch during the race, but typically look at where I could have done better after a couple of days. -

Not a bad idea and something I might look to try, especially for those longer ultra’s

A nice feature would be the VO2 max for trail (like an another brand
) taking into account the D+ and temperature -
@ink357 that’s just licensing another firstbeat module surely? The S9 has picked up firstbeat features since launch (recovery/stress) so it’s not implausible?
Now that firstbeat are
in-bedin-house with Garmin, it might happen, but we can but guess. -

@ink357 oh no, please, not another metric that will haunt me and keep me forever under a certain threshold

@stromdiddily my S9 baro is at home. Will get back to ya.

@miniforklift I make an aid station spreadsheet, most races have aid times for a certain finish or I look up past results around my desired finish. I open the spreadsheet on the phone, hide columns I don’t need and rearrange if necessary. Then I take a screenshot and save it as a wallpaper. Works great, pull the phone out of my vest and onscreen is the info I need without unlocking so easy to do with gloves, etc.
And I forgot. I do this in landscape mode and then lock phone orientation for the race. It doesn’t affect taking photos so I never unlock the phone. -

Do you use a belt? The OHR for me is highly inaccurate and will give very low VO2Max values. If the HR is accurate the VO2 Max should be consistent at least.
-
@brad_olwin I use the belt for all sports, but steep trails dump my score a lot. I just smashed my 8 years old PR on a steep trail (750m elevation gain in 3,4km) up an down - VO2 max dropped to 55 (it was 62.4 before). 3 days later, flat 10k in my z2 - VO2 max went back up - 58.4. Some flat runs and I will be back at 62
Not sure how accurate this is (you say that it’s quite good), but 7 points seems a lot? I’ll se when this covid cools off, I have a test in lab planned 
-
@brad_olwin i used both. Sometimes i don’t want to take the belt, usualy when it’´s a cool ride.
I think it’s because the first time i use it i was walking so the based VO2 max was 30.
Maybe i can reset it ? -
@brunoh I think the black space is for the activity planning/calendar. AFAIK the activity schedule was displayed when I make a plan and sync with movescount website. Currently Suunto App doesn’t have this functionality but I believe this will come someday.

I hope so!!! I used this feature a lot and liked it.
