GPS Kids | Edge 705 helps champion break record in triathlon’s wheelchair division

Sifting through our inbox recently, we came across yet another great example of people using Garmin products to reach extraordinary achievements. Renzo Martinez sent us a brief email (of which we get many) with a marketing suggestion (of which we also get many) but Renzo’s letter stood out for the way he wanted to help us help others excel.

I use a Garmin EDGE 705 and I think is a great product and excellent companion out on the road and during races. It even gets me back to my car when I am out there testing new training routes =). I am a triathlete and marathoner that competes in the wheelchair division. Besides the many advantages of this product, I find it very convenient because before I started to use the Garmin I had to keep two separate cycling computers, one for my racing chair and the other for the racing handcycle. Now I have a united source to track all my training metrics. I think you could market it more to wheelchair athletes, because I don’t see many of them out there.

I included a picture when I was doing the Nautica Triathlon in Miami. You can see the Garmin right by the brake handle on top of the Achilles sticker. I broke the course record for my division that day.

Thanks — Renzo
