Trimming an activity because you forgot to stop the watch doesn't change the associated PB.

I forgot to stop my Fenix 7X for a couple of minutes after running my first half-marathon race today. I corrected the time to be the chip time and the distance to be 21.1km. However, the associated Personal Record reflects the uncorrected time and distance. Is there a way to sync the PR to the corrected value?

    In Garmin Connect Web you can set the PR either manually and write it to anything you like in the PB page or you can set the PR from the activity.

    Did you actually remove the overrun at the end of the run by using Trim Activity or did you just change the values in the Time and the Distance fields?

    Garmin Connect will find the fastest 21.1km (and any other Personal Best distances) within the activity and evaluate it for your Personal Best records. As long as you were still running when your f7X went past 21.1km recorded distance that time will be reported as your Personal Best irrespective of the final distance (as long as it is greater than 21.1km or ending time of the activity.

    Thanks for the reply. I was able to edit the time, but the pace doesn't change.

    I reviewed what I did, and your guess is correct - I edited the time and distance without trimming the end of the activity. When I trimmed it to the chip time, the distance was still slightly off (21.34km) leading to a different pace than the officially published one, but it shows the correct time in the PRs.

    Glad you got it more or less sorted.

    The following article from DC Rainmaker may help you understand why there is difference in the time and distance recorded by your f7X and the official distance and time:

    The course line in the article is based on the USA Track and Field standards, so your half marathon may have been measured to a different standard. However the differences between the measured course race line and your GNSS recorded race line, especially where corners are concerned, still applies.
