How do I sync to the hDrop Sweat Sensor?

To connect your hDrop Sweat Sensor app to TrainingPeaks, please follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have the most recent hDrop App version
    • The TrainingPeaks integration is available for hDrop App version 0.46.2 or newer
  2. In the hDrop App, navigate to Account > Connected Apps > Training Peaks
  3. Tap Link Training Peaks Account
  4. Tap Link a new account

To view your data in TrainingPeaks 

Your hDrop Sweat Sensor data will display as a Metrics card on your 'Calendar' view. The hDrop data will also appear as a workout note inside your TrainingPeaks activities. To ensure the data shows up in TrainingPeaks, you must use the hDrop device during the same date and time range as the corresponding TrainingPeaks activity.

To view detailed graphs in TrainingPeaks

The hDrop Sweat Sensor can write data into your Garmin FIT file via the Garmin data field. If you use a Garmin device and enable the hDrop Scores data field during your activities, you will record real-time hydration metrics (sweat loss, sodium loss, and hDrop score), and you will be able to view the graphs in TrainingPeaks Advanced Graphs.

Important: The Garmin hDrop Scores FIT data uses a lightweight algorithm, so total losses may differ slightly from the hDrop App’s final results. For your session summary, treat the hDrop App final results (and the metrics card sent to TrainingPeaks) as the most accurate.

Please Note:

  • The hDrop Sweat Sensor is approximately 92% accurate for sweat loss and 87% accurate for sodium loss over 1 hour of exercise.
  • hDrop workouts completed after the date you link your TrainingPeaks account will automatically sync
  • You may notice that saving an hDrop workout takes a few additional seconds (sometimes up to 1 minute). 
  • If you cannot see your data on your TrainingPeaks Calendar, please ensure that you have 'Metrics' enabled in your Calendar Settings.
