Removing part (break) in the middle of an activity

Dear all

Yesterday I did 32 km on my bike and it was recorded with Garmin Edge 1040. In the middle of the way I made a break of around 15 minutes and forgot to put the Garmin into break mode. Therefore I have now 15 minutes recorded without doing anything and the statistics (average speed, etc) is not correct now. In Garmin Connect Web I did not find a way to remove these data, I found only the possibility to trim an activity at the beginning or at the end. Is the a way to do this in Garmin Connect Web or is the there an alternative way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

You could use the "Convert To Multisport" option. Create 3 legs, leg 2 being 15 minutes, save it, then delete the 2nd leg. Otherwise, there are 3rd party tools that will do it, such as Fit File Repair Tool. Or you can zip then attach your activity here and we can give it a try.

Thank you for your hint. After some trials I've got it with converting to multisport. It's fine for me, i don't want to use 3rd party apps or web tool for that (most of them are not free and quite expensive). The only function I miss is to merge all the legs together at the end. So far I could find out, this is not possible (at the moment).

You could try Section remover from FitFileTools (https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/top), it's free and requires no installation.

I tried FitFileTools already and found it very handy to modify activities, but I was unable to import it back to Garmin Connect, it says always "The file has already been uploaded".

That's because your original file still exists in Garmin Connect and the new file won't import because of the identical start times.

When I understand you right, I have first to remove the original activity in Garmin Connect before importing the modified data? Is there a way to modify the start timestamp in the file that I want to import or is the a way in Garmin Connect to archive the original data?

If you really need to keep both, use the Time Adjuster in FIT File Tools.

Also, first removing the original activity is not a problem, since you have just exported the original fit file. So if you keep that file, you can always import the original activity again, if the one modified by FitFileTools doesn't work for some reason.
