I have a Garmin 700, the older style, and a Paradigm 522 with CGM. I can confirm that is not able to connect to the pump. I'd be so quick to switch if it were true though!
As for comparing an Edge to a Forerunner, the Edge is a…"

garmin Edge® 800 and measuring blood sugars medtronics
Heard somewhere that the garmin can read your pump and display your blood sugars. Is that true? I am thinking of getting the 800. My 410 watch only last 4 to 5 hours. I am not that fast to complete a Century in 4 to 5 hours.ThanksGetting ready for the Tour De Cure in Cleveland!!! 1200 miles so far this year.See More

Lisa said… - I do not use a pump. I had one a few years ago and was basically tramatized by it. I have thought about going back on it but just can't really get over the horrible experience that I had before!

Nancy said… - Hmmm....where to begin:)
I primarily use Hammer products, but in a pinch I will use Powergels. I can find them at the grocery store which is convenient. Depending on the length of the ride I will bring either a Clifbar, pb & j sandwich, fig newtons...along with gels. Fig newtons are great!
As for supplements...yes I do take! Magnesium, B complex, multi, alpha lipoic acid and calcium. When I'm in harder training, and when $ will allow, I add COQ10. Whey protein shakes...home made:) Sometimes that's all I have time for at lunch, so I freeze them and take them to work with me. Works like a dream:) My husband does most of our cooking, so I am a lucky lady!!
I wish I had a Garmin! I have a Polar...a very, very old one at that. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year and send me a new one. The VO2 max test will fluctuate throughout training. At the peak you will have the best number...or at least try to. So don't be frustrated if you don't like your results. Just use it as a base for training. The cool thing is that is will give you your exact training zones...which is valuable.
Hope you are recovering well! Ease yourself back into it:)

- Re your question about altitude - about the only way to deal with it is to spend time at altitude. Your body builds more red blood cells, and carries more oxygen at altitude. So I live at 4500 feet - that helps. And I have lungs like two trash bags!
I have not done the Iron Horse - I intend to next year. My Dr. does it, and I want to put on a good showing.

- Hi John! Thank you for sharing!!! I did ride but only finished 40 miles of my 62 after some mechanical issues due to the wet and mud. I'm looking forward to this coming weekend!

- Hi John! Riding the tour is my plan! How about you??? I'm going to do the Championship route. I've been training for a MTB race the weekend before that consists of 100K off-road so hopefully the 100Kish on the road won't be too bad! :)

- Wow John, you have had quite the last couple of months! Thanks goodness your doctor was on top of things. Are you back to work now? I have had patella tendinitis in both knees, so have just been riding a recumbent at the gym. My knees are very thankful for the break:) Now that spring has arrived, hope to hear you are getting many miles back on your bike.
