Garmin Forerunner 305 screens customized for marathon

Changed the screens around a little for the race. I need to revisit this right after the race to determine how I liked the changes. Here is how I have them set-up:

Main Screen:
Time
Distance
Pace
HR

This screen is set-up for real-time data. Where am I in the race, what is my pace and HR?

Screen 2:
Current Lap
Lap Pace
Heart Rate

I thought this might be good to do a pace check during the race. Once in a smooth and steady pace, switch over to this screen and confirm the pace.

Screen 3:
Time
Distance
Average Pace

Another screen to save me from doing math. Will check this one periodically during the first half to make sure I am not surging. I might switch to this screen late in the race as well when HR may be irrelevant and it's more a matter of running based on how I'm feeling.

These screens may change 10x before Sunday, but this is the current configuration.
