Sometimes I’m in wait timing mode, and sometimes I’m not. Usually I time my waits when I’m more relaxed. If I’m hyper focused on making sure my party is having a good time / picking up LLs, etc., timing my waits falls by the wayside.
Even when I try to time my waits, I do often forget to stop the timer in the hubbub of getting on the ride! It happens to the best of us. If my wait is materially off, I discard it rather than submitting, but if I catch myself within a minute or two, I still submit anyway.
What I like about timing through my TP is that I don’t have to scroll through every ride! I only see the ones on my touring plans so it’s faster to find the one I want to time, especially if I’m following my touring plan
