Garmin Forerunner 745 – the watch that thinks it’s a Coach!
Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of global consumer marketing said, “We are thrilled to welcome these new athletes to the Garmin-Tacx family and have them represent our company while competing around the world,” and that “…triathletes chose Garmin and Tacx for our innovative products and technology, and we’re excited to be part of their success on race day.”
Representing Garmin and Tacx in events around the world, the sponsored triathletes will be equipped with top-of-the-line products for training and racing. Forerunner® running watches, like the premium Forerunner 945, will not only track a run, but will monitor stats, crunch the numbers and get to know all about an athlete’s performance, training history, goals and more. Edge® cycling computers, including the Edge 530, Edge 830 and Edge 1030 Plus will provide performance data and metrics to cyclists, as well as GPS and navigational support. The cyclist will also be riding with the Varia™ RTL515 rear-view radar during training, which will warn of vehicles approaching from behind, while a tail light brightens and flashes to alert drivers of a cyclist ahead. Additionally, many of the athletes will use the Index™ S2 Smart Scale to track key training metrics, including body weight, BMI and body composition.
In addition, athletes will be able to take their training indoors with smart trainers, including the NEO 2T Smart. The powerful and intuitive indoor cycling trainer measures data accurately within 1% and is known for its unique features including road feel, dynamic inertia and descent simulation, making training feel more lifelike.
