Editing Activities

Can anyone tell me how to edit an activity? My specific problem is after a run, I will forget to hit stop on my garmin and record my drive home in my car. The good news is, my run shows an excellent pace, the bad news is I can drive much faster than I can run.

    Yes, you can edit the tcx file. It is a lot of work, especially if you want to fix the totals for gain, etc. I use 3 programs. Foxe XML Editor to delete parts. Advanced XML Converter to get the data separated into columns and exported to Excel. Microsoft Excel to write a simple formula and sum the columns to get new totals for the edited run. Back to Foxe to enter the new totals in the correct places and save the new tcx file.

    A real pain in the a$$ and sometimes GTC and/or GC will not load it and it takes some extra work. They are very finicky.

    I'm sure somebody way smarter than me has a better way. I highly recommend you remember to shut that sucker off and save yourself a huge headache. ;)

    Don't always count an edited file that will not load out.
    I use a validator to pinpoint what part is not matching the schema and correct in notepad

    Thanks DATEZZ. It does sound like a lot of work but I appreciate your response. I'll give it a try - and for sure, be more careful in the future.

    Thanks for the link to Validator. I would have never found that on my own. I put the link in my favorites for the next edit job.
