Multiple Activities Workout and Recovery

[Cue]

👋🏽 there,
I just bought my first Apple Watch (Series 7) and headed to the gym to track my workout. It's fair to say I expected and actually made a mess as I was trying to figure out how to do this! 😄
It does not help that my workout seems a bit more complex than what the Apple Watch can either handle or communicate via its UI.
My workout is basically this. Over a period of 3 minutes, do the following:

• 200m of indoor running
• 15kcal of skiing (Skierg)
• Up to the 3 minute mark, rowing.
• 90 seconds cooldown.
• Repeat 6 times.

I did try to follow the Apple Guide on how to Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch.
Here are a few of the issues I faced and how I messed up the workout either by not tracking it completely or by having to mentally juggle the current set and time.

• I couldn't tell how much time I had left in a set. I started a workout with 200m of indoor running. Tapped the New button to add the skiing however the time started tracking from 0.
• Adding the rowing as an "open" activity, then stopping the workout once I hit the 3 minute mark, did not record the rowing.
• Given the overall time (3 minutes) of the set wasn't recorded, I couldn't tell how much time I had to row without keeping track in my head of the previous activities.
• Since rowing was an "open" activity, I didn't get an alert when I was at the 3 minute mark. I realise that I can setup a "timed" activity based on the seconds I calculated I need to but the amount varies, creating a new custom timed activity each time does get in the way.
• I couldn't tell what set I was in. I know that I can double tap to mark a segment. My understanding is that this is per activity rather. Not sure how to mark a segment across the 3 activities.

Every time I finished a "set", I would end the activity and start a 90 seconds timer before starting again. I know now that I can use a "cooldown" activity. Seemingly you can't have a cooldown based on seconds (i.e. 90) but hours/minutes instead. In any case, would adding a cooldown period be the way to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Impressive training. Well done.
For me, I keep things simple and would just select HIIT.

I was about to say the same. Does seem like your goal is all around workout with less focus on tracking speed on the treadmill so HIIT seems like would fit with timer and heart rate zones etc
