Splitting a .fit file into three

Former Member

problem
I have a .fit file that I'd like to extract three runs from.

things I've tried
(1) I used https://www.fitfiletools.com/ to cut the three runs I'm interested in and saved them as three individual .fit files. Unfortunately, Garmin Connect won't let me upload more than one of them as it thinks they are duplicates.

(2) I uploaded the first .fit file to Connect, downloaded it as a .tcx and then deleted the .fit file from Connect. I repeated this for each of the three runs and then uploaded all three .tcx files. Garmin Connect accepted them. But all three show as being the distance of the original complete file, not the distance of the individual runs ...

Help?

back story
I was supporting my sister running a marathon. Ran the first 5k with her, then hung out for a couple of hours, ran 5k out to meet her, waited around a bit and then ran the final 5k with her. I put lap points in at all the sensible places. I wanted to keep my watch running so that I knew the true gun time when I met her for the final 5k.
