Seeing the segment on an activity where you achieve a "Personal Record"?

Garmin Connect identifies your "Personal Records" for Running, Cycling and Steps as a default capability.

It's interesting that it captures that data and shows me the "workout" in which I achieved the PR. However, it does not highlight the specific "Segment" of the workout where I hit my PR.

For example. On a recent 100k ride, I achieved a 40K PR. However, I have no idea which 40k? Was it in the beginning, the end? Garmin Connect simply shows the entire route.

Is there a way to identify and see which part of the ride I achieved the PR in?

Thanks

    While this statement is true as far as it goes, it is also incomplete.
    According to Garmin:
    "Personal Records are created when you upload data that closely matches one of our predetermined distances, and it's the fastest time you've ever uploaded for that distance.
    You don't have to exactly match a distance, but it must be close. (For example, a Half Marathon Personal Record may be created if your activity is 13.2 miles.)"

    Some Garmin devices will extract "personal records" from longer activities and Garmin Connect will accept this data. However, Garmin Connect does NOT identified the section of the activity where this occurred. That information is on your device and it may or may not be accessible (to GC or directly to you on the device).

    As mickw46 has explained so well, Garmin Connect played no part in determining that you achieved a new personal record over a 40-kilometre segment of your 100-kilometre ride in question; it was your wearable device that did it.

    Is there a way to identify and see which part of the ride I achieved the PR in?
    Yes – by extracting the FIT file for the ride in question, and then analysing it in an application outside of what Garmin provides, I suppose.
