Hello. I'm curious about the best sequence to use when starting a running race. Last weekend I ran a 5k. Prior to the race, I set up a "training & planning>workouts" for a 5k race with distance and goal pace. I like seeing the pace gauge at the top of my watch while running. When I got to the starting area, I was wondering when to start navigating to the workout. I was at the starting area about 8 or 10 minutes prior to start. I was thinking, what if I navigate to the workout and am all ready to hit start...is there a screen saver type thing that brings the watch back to the "home" screen? So, worried about the watch timing out and going to the home screen, I hit start, then stop really quickly, thinking it would stay on that screen until start time and I would simply hit start when I crossed the line. It did, this worked, but, the watch included the few minutes of waiting to start in the elapsed time. So, I'm just wondering what's the best thing to do, and when is the right time to do it? Do you have a preference in how you set up prior to a race, and which buttons do you press in the starting area, and when do you press them? Thanx so much!
