New Badges

I quite like the new badges, although losing sight of my step badges is annoying. I do note that the badges are very heavily weighted towards stepping, running and cycling. Where are all the swimming badges? I would have thought that some of the usual open water and pool swim distances would be worthy of a badge. Come on Garmin...there's a badge for a drone activity but not for a 1 mile swim? Not convinced that flying a drone does much for your fitness.

So anyone knows which one is correct,?

The badge description tells

"Complete a 10-kilometer run"
"Join this challenge and record a 10-kilometer running activity from June 12-14."

It means you have to do a single 10k run between June 12th and 14th. Unlike at the 100 miles running challenge, there is not written that you could cummulate several runs, so I would not do it, if you want to get the badge.

I beleive Garmin has set a wrong threshold at this one. Probably a few meters higher than it should be. There are already several other users who did not get the Druid Arch badge, because they ended the activity just after reaching the threshold. I did significanlty more, and got the badge instantly, so the wrongly set threshold seems to be the only explanation.

I climbed a mountain today. How come I didn't get any of these badges?

Did you record an activity? If so, if you change it to ‘Floor Climb’ and met at least one of the Elevation Gain requirements your will get one of the badges.

How to I track distance on my spin bike. I use a spin bike almost daily (40-80 minutes) and teach a spin class. With my Forerunner 35 I set it on "indoor cycling, GPS off, for indoor cycling so no Mileage. No mileage anyway as I'm not moving. So how to I track 10 miles, etc, to earn the Indoor 10 Mile Ride badge. I have some of the outdoor cycling badges.

You need to enter the mileage from your indoor bike manually in Garmin Connect, if you have no way to import it from the device.
