What info do y'all like to view on your Garmin or Polar while you race an IM?

HR and Elapsed time...  and I ignored them both most of the time.

Only used my Garmin 205 on the run.  (I mostly only pay attention to cadence on the bike.)  All I really looked at was current pace and total distance.

None, didn't use the Garmin for IM.  Just used a regular old Polar HRM, and had the time taped over for the bike/run.  I had a general idea of what my total time was coming off the bike.    If I was to use the Garmin, it would be time and HR only.  Everything else is given to you on the course, well marked, etc....

Mostly screen with current lap pace and total time. It is what helped me learn to pace myself better on long runs.

I used my 305 for the run only. Had HR, Pace, Time, and Time of Day. Ignored the HR completely; looked at pace a lot early on to keep  from going too hard early. Time of Day was to track my total finishing time. Time for the marathon - would skip this next time.

Used my Garmin only for the run in my IM. I'll never wear it again and will only race by feel. I became a slave to it.

Exactly why I don't even start the chron feature on my Garmin. The only thing it does is beep at me every 10 minutes to remind me about fluid and nutrition intake.
