watch battery died - transfer recorded data to intensity minutes?

My watch battery died at about 35 minutes in an indoor cycling "activity". My phone was linked to my phone so the phone recorded heart rate up to the point the watch died Now I have a record that shows my time in each intensity zone (up to watch death) so I can calculate by hand that there were 62 intensity minutes while the watch was alive. However the phone and web apps say the daily intensity minutes are 0.

Is there any way to get activity recorded in the apps into the daily numbers?

(Sorry if this a repeat. I see lots of questions about watch batteries dying but none that explicity mentioned a situation where partial data was transferred to phone.)

There is no easy way to do it.

If you know the distance and time, you can start a new dummy Indoor Cycling Activity, let it run a few seconds, save it, and then edit the distance and time in Garmin Connect. You will not have the HR data, and the manually entered Calories won't get into the totals, but the distance will be accounted for. Intensity Minutes won't be counted, though. For that you would have to hack the FIT files in the folder //GARMIN/Monitoring/, but that's not a task an ordinary user could easily do, as tmk2 wrote.
