Primary race that can’t be removed from FR 955

I did a calendar event (race) based on a public event.

I changed my mind and deleted it from GCM calendar but it doesn’t go away from my watch.

I have tried to create another one on same day to overwrite it and mark other events as primary race but nothing helps.

any idea how to solve this?

    Hi Serafin. You are a very helpful resource. SO in my case I had created events and later deleted. Some deleted from Race Calendar Widget correctly and some did not. They were all set up the same way. I tried your suggestion of creating a new event the same and delete again , but it still leaves the old one behind.  So I see in the device folders there is a calendar.fit file and I took it into a .csv and I can see the list of items on the race calendar widget there.

    I can delete them in the .csv , but I do not know to get it back to a .fit file. It has very limited data . Alternative would be to edit the .fit file in an editor.

    I have tried deleting it completely from the device , but it just gets recreated on the device .

    I was wondering if you had any other thoughts> Of course I can either ignore it or do a factory reset (but that has others implications), but it is a fun thing to try and sort!

    Can you take a picture of the widget and post it here?

    1. yes

    Thank you!

    I eventually broke down and did a full reset (which is a lot easier now with the better Physio True up in place) and this the deleted ones shouldn't be there.

    I did a device backup before hand (see this link with some suggestions)

    Yes Yes Canada  The problematic event is St Lawrence Marathon that gets stuck as my primary event.

    , the bug was reported 7 months ago. Any progress? You have many users that gave you there permisssion, including myself who gave you permission to access their account!!!!!

    St Lawrence marathon is past and I can't set the primary race as the next one in my calendar. So, I,m not sure how the daily recommended workout will behave, probably rendering the whole workout recommendation completely useless for me!

    Additional clue : the issue is only on the watch because I checked in Connect and  my next event is indeed the one set as the primary event. So I again went on the watch(FR955), removed  the glance, added it back and, on the primary race glance, it still shows my  race from yesterday instead of the primary race set in Connect!

    Lastly, I went to my calendar to remove yesterday’s event from it ( not the activity) and it returned with a red banner saying “We were not able to process your request. Please try again later”. So I tried again this morning and: same result!

    *** SOLVED ***

    The problem suddenly disappeared, the Primary race glance has now refreshed to my next race! 

    My theory is that I have had the issue until 24H after my race was completed, instead of "the day after".

    Because I finished my race at 11:40 on Saturday morning, and I experienced the issue until around 12PM on the Sunday!

    Unless, the reference time zone is not mine but where Garmin servers are!!!!

    Or it may be a coincidence. I don't know!

    All, 

    This has been resolved. If you still see a deleted race event on your watch, please start a new thread. Thank you!
