Watch didn't find my vector pedals during triathlon

I've noticed a problem with the watch detecting sensors during multisport activities. During my triathlon it was particularly problematic as it didn't find my vector 3 pedals until about 2 miles into the bike leg. Is this a bug? I have noticed it during indoor brick sessions with sensors being detected few minutes later but normally it's sensors that aren't associated with the activity (ie turbo trainer during a run) so it hasn't been a big deal but I don't want it happening again in a race.

It happens sometimes. One thing you can try is to give the cranks a spin when you first start T1 in order to wake up the pedals and hopefully get the pairing started. Something I do that I'm not sure if…

It happens sometimes. One thing you can try is to give the cranks a spin when you first start T1 in order to wake up the pedals and hopefully get the pairing started. Something I do that I'm not sure if it helps or not is to connect the pedals when setting up transition (while the bike is racked) and running calibration. Like I said I'm not sure if this helps but I've never had an issue and my pedals usually connect within the first few minutes of riding.
