I’ve been using the Garmin 965. A year ago, I wore it during my first 100-mile race. I was able to charge it while running, and I was thrilled that it accurately tracked the entire race when I used the ultra run mode.
However, a few weeks ago, while training for my upcoming 187km race, my watch froze during a session, causing the tracklog to cut off. This was concerning because I had never encountered this issue before.
Today, I just completed the 187km race, but at hour 44, my watch displayed a blue triangle error and froze for a long time. After restarting it, the entire 187km tracklog was gone. What frustrated me the most was not having access to my watch during the race. I couldn’t check the route, I had no idea what time it was, how far I had run, or how much distance I had left.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice on how to prevent it from happening in the future?
