40km Record for Cycling - confusion

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi All,

I am not sure if I am interpreting this wrong or not, but I'd imagine the 40km record is how quick you've achieved 40km from the start of your ride.

My Garmin Edge 1000 - announced I had achieved a record for the 40km time at the end of my last ride. It claimed I had done it in 1hr 17mins.

It attributed the 'record' to this ride: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/604630478

I am not sure if it's public or not but here are the main stats:

Total Distance: 41.2km
Elapsed Time: 1hr 36m 7sec
Time: 1hr 31m 59sec
Moving Time: 1hr 32m 38s

(p.s. I am not sure what the difference is between 'moving time' and 'time').

I think its pretty clear to see that if I did 40km in 1hr 17m, it took me 15minutes to do the last 1.2km - which it didn't.

I am confused, is the 40km actually a different calculation to what I think it actually is?

Help.

Thanks

What is a Personal Record?

Whether you call it a personal record or a personal best, it's a way to measure your milestones.

How does Garmin Connect determine a Personal Record?

Personal Records are created when you upload data that closely matches one of our predetermined distances, and it's the fastest time you've ever uploaded for that distance.

You don't have to exactly match a distance, but it must be close. (For example, a Half Marathon Personal Record may be created if your activity is 13.2 miles.)

Connect only scans for a Personal Record the first time an activity is uploaded, so an edited activity won't be listed as a Personal Record.

I clearly went over the distance, and clearly in a far slower time than Garmin thinks is a PR

I'm pretty confused how its come to this conclusion,
