Triathlons as Activities

How do i add a triathlon to my activities manually? There is no Triathlon in the drop-down list to choose from.
  • Apparently there is now way of adding multisport activities manually.

    You can add Transition Times. So I guess that you need the add it as individual events and transitions.
  • Triathlons are displayed as individual activities after upload - although the .fit file is only one file. To manually add a triathlon you would need to, as has already been suggested, add each leg and transitions, individually.

    A transition area is set up where the athletes change gear for different segments of the race. This is where the switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur. These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories needed for the next stage of the race. It's tricycles or tandem bicycles with a guide and a 5 km (3.1 mi) wheelchair or running race. Athletes compete in six categories according to the nature of their physical impairments.

    I'm not sure I follow. My triathlons always appear in Garmin Connect as a single multisport activity with the possibility to view details for each leg separately.

    But this way you won't have any information that it was a single multisport event nor summary statistics for the whole event.
  • So, if i'm understanding this right, the event will only show up as a single, multi sport event, if it's been captured and uploaded as such by the watch, correct?

    Seems i'm hosed then because my 220 is not a multisport watch.

    The Garmin folks need to change the manual entry options to allow multisport entries manually . . . how do we get this issue raised to them?

    Correct.

    Correct again.
