Auto-Rest feature with workouts

I'm using a "workout" for longer races. The way I set it up is that I press the lap key manually, to indicate to myself that I'm now running the next section. Unfortunately I had Auto-Rest configured for the Ultra Race profile at some point, and now I can't get rid of it. A rest is always triggered when I'm at the aid station, which would be the desired functionality, but as soon as I start, I want it to go exit rest mode. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that. No matter what I choose with the pace it's supposed to end rest mode. Unfortunately, the only way then to exit rest mode is, obviously, to press the lap key, which not only ends the rest period, but also transitions to the next workout section. 

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. There has to be a configuration that makes this work. I can't believe how terrible Auto-Rest is, and that I can't seem to be able to turn it off. Even when set to OFF in the Auto-Rest settings, it's entering Rest Mode. Why?
