Mountain Biking for the First time - What is a Split?

3 Splits were automatically recorded, but I'm not sure what they were set to. Nothing in the data clearly indicates what triggered a split to be recorded: [TABLE="class: table clickable-table splits-table"]

This raises the question of what is a split and what triggers them to be recorded? Finally - how can I set it to something standard?

Is that the auto lap function. My 5X had auto lap set to every 5 miles from factory I think. I changed it to every mile. You can have what ever distance you want though or off.

Can only guess but a couple of options - I think the most likely thing is you are hitting the lap button accidentally. Specially possible if you have gloves on (and rough terrain mountain biking. Other possibility is you have auto pause on and the watch is counting this as a lap (and I do not know if it does this as I don't use auto-pause). I say this as in all three splits the time is a far bit more than the Moving time.
