According to its press release, MyLaps will continue to be a standalone company, and with Garmin hopes to "set a new standard for performance-focused training and race-day technology, in motorized, active and equine sports." But what does that actually look like?
Transponders/chips: Each participant wears a transponder or race chip with a unique ID.
Decoders and timing software: Their products can set up, time, create, and publish race results into readable information.
Imagine, instead, a world where your Garmin device receives a signal from MyLaps timing infrastructure the instant the race officially begins, eliminating start-line button fumbling. There'd also be more precise lap timing, so each MyLaps mat you cross automatically records splits on your device. Then at the end of the race, your watch stops recording the exact moment you cross the finish line, matching your official time down to the millisecond. This sort of integration would provide athletes with way better accuracy in their performance data. I know I'd love to eliminate the common post-race ritual of manually adjusting watch times to match official results.
The bottom line
The first Garmin Marathon Series events this fall could serve as testing grounds for all this. Currently, registration for the Garmin Marathon Series is open for all race distances in Toledo and Tucson.
