I'm sure there's a way to figure this out, but I haven't yet. It's ten minutes before the race starts and I fire up my Garmin, but while I'm standing at the line waiting for the gun, the Garmin goes back to sleep. Is there a way to make it not go to sleep for times when I don't want to be thinking about the Garmin for 10-15 minutes?

It's Menu>Training>Options>Timeout off. I think.

One thing I do while waiting is just to periodically tap the bezel. I have mine set to cycle between the HR screen and the pace screen so this just switches the screen which resets the timer that causes it to time out.
