Enjoyed reading this. I've recently done some experimentation with racing without a watch and had some fantastic results. Ran my 3rd fastest marathon on feel and my third fastest half. But most importantly I've felt great start to finish in those races, too. Challenged a fellow runner to join my experiment for this video: https://youtu.be/waw-lr5IB7A . I wish Garmin/COROS/Apple/Polar would create a one tap 'naked' mode where you could track the data but blank the screen.
I find it easier to look at the watch less often in the winter. I start the watch and then just cover it with a jacket sleeve until I’m done.
Smart—I let my wrist freeze while pushing my sleeve up and glove down 🤦🏻♀️ I'm going to do this today!
