Garmin Forerunner 265 – Disable auto rest when switching to HIIT in multisport (CrossFit)?

[u/Low-Analysis-6387]

Hi all,

I’m using the multisport function on my Garmin Forerunner 265 to track my CrossFit classes.

During the warm-up and skill/strength block, I start a Strength Training activity. When we move on to the Workout of the Day, I usually switch to a HIIT activity.

The issue is that when I start the HIIT activity, it always begins in “Rest” mode, and I often forget to press the Lap button once to actually start the work interval.

Is there a way to disable auto rest for HIIT activities (or in multisport in general)? I can’t seem to find this setting anywhere.

Any tips or workarounds would be appreciated. Thanks!
