I completed a 2-hour ride earlier today on a course that I have ridden several times over the past week. It's a simple "out and back"; the first half being a climb, and the second half a descent back to the starting location. When I uploaded today's ride to Garmin Connect, I got some confusing readings.
The summary at the top is correct (32.87 mi, 2:01:08, 16.3 mph avg speed, 3,356 ft elevation gain, 2190 calories burned). The map looks correct, too. However, the profiles have several errors, as do the stats below them. The elevation, speed, HR, and cadence profiles only display information for the last 45 minutes of the 2-hour ride. Under "Stats", the "Time" is correct (2:01:08), but the "Moving Time" is only 43:42. "Avg Speed" is correct (16.3 mph), but "Avg Moving Speed" is incorrect at 45.1 mph (I wish!).
Here's what I think caused the problem: During the ride, I stopped the timer on the Edge 705 for a minute at the summit of the climb (I didn't stop it on my previous rides). When I began the descent, I started it back without resetting, so the timer picked up where it left off. Since the descent took about 45 minutes, it appears that some of the calculations are using only the descent time, and not the entire ride time. That also appears to be the issue with the profiles- when I select "Over Distance" instead of "Over Time", the entire ride is displayed, not just the last part. Is there any way to resolve this issue?
BTW- I have since activated the "Auto Pause" feature on my Edge 705, but would like to salvage this data if possible... Thank you!
