Almost there with the timer

[SunsetRunner]

So, awesome Surge!.  I can start a countdown timer, then switch to start an exercise and when the timer reaches zero it vibrates.  

What would be even more awesomer is if I could reverse those two; start an exercise then start a countdown timer.  An alternative would be to have one of the data points (at the bottom of the exercise screen) be the timer info (how much time is left).  

The use case for this is the timer is my primary function because as a referee I have to keep track of time.  The data on my exercise (distance and heart rate primarily) is secondary and really only of interest to my doctor but I promised I would get him that information.  I know I could subtract the elapsed time shown on the exercise screen from the game's interval (say 20 minutes), but my math gets real bad after 4 games in one day.

Thanks for considering!
