This weekend I ran a half-marathon. This is a race I've ran several times in the past. The odd thing is that when I crossed the start line and started my timer, I got a notification on my watch telling me that I had a goal time (previous PR) and then it set my default data screen to one that had Time Behind, Distance Remaining, and Pace. How did it know to do this? First, I do have my Garmin account linked with my Strava account so maybe it has something to do with that, but I didn't have my phone with me during the race so there couldn't have been any communications over bluetooth or anything.
I liked that it did this, but I'm just curious what did it. Anyone know?
