Making the Forerunner 935 beep at selected time intervals possible?

Tomorrow, I will run a 5000m race on a 400m track. To reach my goal time of 18:25, these are my split times:

Is there a way I can let my Forerunner 935 beep and/or vibrate at these exact time instances? So first beep/vibration at 44.2 sec, second beep/vibration at 2 min 12.6 sec, third beep/vibration at 3 min 41 sec and so on... Is it configurable on the watch itself? Or maybe easier via Garmin Connect?

    Just hold the up key to configure one repeating or multiple individual time alerts.

    So you need 88.4 per lap or 44.2 per 200m.
    you can only set alerts for whole seconds however.

    I would set a repeating alarm for either 44 or 1:28 depending which you prefer. That is 18:20 pace so if you are a fraction behind can still do it.

    For as far as I can see, the repeating alerts can only be set to whole seconds, right? So if I understand things correctly, I have two options:

    1) Configure one repeating alert every 44 sec (leading to 18:20) or 45 sec (leading to 18:45). Setting this up goes quite fast.
    2) Since I have to cross the finish line 13 times, configure 13 individual alerts at my exact split times. Setting this up on the watch is quite some manual work. Can't this be done from within Garmin Connect or so?

    Bart, perhaps you could do without the beeps. Having all those beeps can't be helpful, especially if you drop off the pace. If you're anything like me at 5K then you'll be at your limit after the first K so then what I would do is turn off auto lap and use the lap key when I crossed the start line. You will get a lap banner so you can see your lap time and you will know if you are on pace or not.
