I know what you mean IanM - about relying on the Garmin too much...

I would consider taping my watch over but would go daft if I could not see the stats afterwards.

I wear my Garmin to race, but have it set to only one data field, time. So during the race it's like running with just a stopwatch, but after the race I still get to geek over the stats for hours :-)

'tis nice to see the stats afterwards. Maybe I will try taping it over instead. If I see the pace I'm going it has a negative effect on me...

Good idea Kinky - I seem to have every bit of geeky stat squashed into the little screen - no wonder I slow down! ;-)

You could do something slightly less, well, wrong, like set it to disply altitude or something equally bland?
