I fear there is a bug in the update to 26.08.  My pace and cadence do not appear to be properly transmitting whereas every activity leading up to today (I updated the software last night on my watch) was flawless and within <5% of my treadmill distance.  Now it's all over the place and it's behaving as if the cadence and pace is coming from the watch accelerometer since the pace drops to the 40's while I type and then "corrects" when my wrists are back at my side.  I've confirmed the HRM-Pro Plus is connected (ANT+) and is listed on the activity as one of the two devices (the other being my Forerunner 965 watch).  Currently working with support but all the evidence I've seen so far points to an issue with the update.
