loops of the course, the watch uses the saved locations to switch between obstacle and running intervals
(

playing golf (
PlaysLike Distance Icons, page 52

example, when you are waiting for a race to start. The Normal option sets the watch to enter low-power
watch mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. The Extended option sets the watch to enter low-power watch
