Just select them in the app and go straight to the course. - Tower Start? Knowing your start time, you can get time to line and how much time you need to burn if you're early. - Tower Finish? You can get distance to line to help you pick which end is closer - Laid marks? All those courses are here - How did we go? Did we pick the shifts? Record your race so you can play it back later.
