Did a fairly difficult century today. At mile 64, we took a longer stop and the Garmin automatically shut down. We resumed riding; I turned the Garmin back on, waited for satellites, let it find my HRM, cadence, and power. We rolled out and I hit start.
The time and mileage were working - we came into at 4:37 and had 100.1 miles. I was really looking forward to looking at the data in Golden Cheetah. While GC told me that we had rolled 103 miles, it also reported only 2:59 of ride time. My power zones reflected this lesser time. Strava only sees 64 miles of the ride.
Since I KNOW the Garmin was recording after the long stop (I was checking time, distance, avg power, laps), I’m really hoping that the data is hiding somewhere in the device…
Does anyone have suggestions? Or have a suggestion for who to ask? Googling from the phone isn’t helping very much. Additionally, Wifi just crashed, so I’m limited in that area.
You should be able to hook it up to your computer and see the Garmin as a USB drive. Look in the folders, (forget which one), for the workout files. If the file is not there, you could try using a disk repair program on the Garmin to recover any partial files, but it’s doubtful anything of easy use will be there. Also, make a backup copy of the entire thing before you try to repair the drive. You could also try downloading the file to the Garmin web site to see if it parses it any differently from Golden Cheetah.
Not sure with .Fit files. But the older Garmins on some files you would need to load them into Garmin Connect it could read them correctly then export them so you could load into what ever program you wanted.
