I also use a Garmin but taking advice from seasoned pro's, I'm turning off most the functions. All I want to see on screen is my time. I'm also going to use KM markers as the guide (rather than miles) as this is apparently a lot easier (they tend to come and go a lot quicker).

I'll try and remember the key splits but not get too caught up with it all. 10km, 15km, 20k, 30km, that kind of thing..

They're mile markers on the course, do they have KM markers as well?

The thing to bear in mind is that NY is a tough course!

Whilst I would love to go sub 3:30 and will be aiming for it, I am not going to get hung up on it as I want to enjoy this marathon :)

Contro , I totally agree as I've been told this several times by various people, but I'm not going to say I won't try because it's a tough course.

If I do sub 3 then brilliant, if I don't, then hey! at least I tried.
...and there's always another marathon :)
