Halfmarathon - PB on 21.1 no full race distance - what a mess ?

I have a problem. I run half marathons. Previously, my personal best was showing the entire course. It's obvious that it always shows over 21.1 km/h for the entire distance. However, it counted the entire race towards my personal best (as it did on the FR 965). Now, on the 970, it shows a personal best of 21.1 km/h during the race, not the entire race. What's going on? It's become a real mess.

You run a half marathon in under one hour?

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm struggling to make sense of what your problem is?

Sorry - Im tired after race ;)

The distance on the watch for a half marathon is usually 200-300m longer. Previously, the PB on the FR965 showed the entire course - now (FR970) it shows exactly 21.1m, not the entire course. Why this change?

Maybe it's a half recorded by Garmin so it applies a correction on the distance?
When you were about to stop the watch, it was indicating exactly 21,1 or a little more?
Nice Ulver pic, by the way ;-)

No idea if it has any impact, but did you mark it as a "race" in the "Event Type" on the activity?

FYI there is also a support note on PB's
