• Before starting the race an initial data screen is shown (* cIQ2), this screen shows you the following data 
* Time of the day
* Current heart rate (+ zone indication)
* Configured Settings Summary (Change these settings in Garmin Express or in the Garmin Android App)
* Battery Percentage Remaining
* Gps Signal Strength 
 
• When pressing the START button the race timer will start and a new data screen will be shown, this data screen will show you the following information: 
* top middle configurable field: time of day (default) / current heart rate / average pace / average speed / perfect pace (*) / perfect speed (*) / lap speed (*) / lap pace (*)
* top left row 1 configurable field: average pace / average speed / current heart rate / perfect pace / perfect speed
* configurable field: speed, smooth speed (5s average), smooth speed (10s average), pace, smooth pace (5s average), smooth pace (10s average)

Legend:
(* cIQ2) All combined functionality in this datafield uses more than 21kb which is too much for the older devices (only 16k available in data field mode), items marked with (*cIQ2) are stripped from older watches to get them to run within 16k functionality. (low memory device? consider the app version: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ea97af1f-1e5d-4541-820c-9bd994080d4c)
(*) Perfect pace / Perfect speed: This field recalculates as you run and gives you the pace you need to run to arrive at the finish with 0 seconds behind / ahead (eg if you run a 10k race and want to arrive in 1 hour (avg pace=6:00min/km) and currently you're at the 7k point in 41:30, which means you're 30 seconds ahead, then the perfect pace will show the value 6:10 (min/km) as you can run the next 3k 10 seconds slower to still get in time at the finish line

• Adjusting the race distance
In a race when you’re next to the race marker press the LAP button, the distance will now be corrected to the nearest lap position (eg 5.08 will correct to 5, 8.8 will correct to 9, …). After pressing the lap button the distance will be adjusted and all averages will be recalculated against this new distance figure.
When you miss a lap marker don’t worry: do not press LAP and go for the next lap marker. 
When you press the LAP marker by mistake you can undo the (last) correction by pressing the LAP button again (within a 30 second window)
