Vital feedback for the serious triathlete and multisporter – SportsDo is with you
every stage
In multisport events you're competing against two tough forces: the clock and your
own body. SportsDo is the first practical aid I've found for training, competing
and recording my progress. It brings real-time performance data to my phone so I
know how I'm doing.
Hear your stats
Live stats on my speed, distance covered, pace and gradient add real feedback to
my progress. I can have selected stats shown in large format on the screen, changing
between them with one click. There's also a handy summary screen with all the stats
in one place. I can even have SportsDo announce my stats at the intervals I want,
relayed over my phone's speaker or earphones. The announcements work with music
too, so I can set my motivational playlist going and stay in touch with my stats
without any distraction.
Everything recorded
Starting and stopping race stages or transitions is a snap. SportsDo records all
my stats for each segment so I can see my relative performance in each stage as
well as the transitions. On-phone graphs and charts let me see my performance profile
at a glance. They're the first things I check when I'm over the finish line.
Always with you
Because it uses the global GPS satellite system, SportsDo always knows exactly where
I am and draws incredibly accurate route traces. The phone shows me a route trace
for each stage of the event, with colour-coded segments indicating my different
speeds.
Sharing online
SportsDo works with or without a phone signal, but if I'm in coverage I can switch
on SportsDo Live and it'll transmit regular updates on my progress automatically
to the web. That way my friends can follow me in real time – it's not always possible
for everyone in the office to head off to Hawaii, after all!
Online journal
After the event I can upload all my saved information to the SportsDo portal. My
activity information is organised in a personal log page which I can add comments
to. Remember my route traces? Well, the portal links these into Google Maps and
Google Earth so I can see the course in incredible detail. There's no time to take
pictures while I'm competing, but sometimes during my training I'll take a few shots,
especially if I'm running or cycling somewhere new. These pictures appear automatically
in my log, linked to the map locations where they were taken.
Training companion
Multisport challenges so many personal attributes, both physical and mental. It's
vital to train correctly and devise appropriate race strategies for each stage so
that you manage your energy and endurance as best you can. SportsDo provides the
key stats I need to feed into my training programme and helps me get even more out
of competing in the world's most challenging races.
