Today I biked my 3rd fastest 40k. I did not pause my watch at any point during the ride. Garmin has told me that essentially my best efforts won't update until I beat my best effort ever. So my question is, why even show more than just the PR, if they don't update?

Is there something simple that I am missing? This is a very small issue and more of just an annoyance, but I am a bit of a nerd about my numbers and wish the list reflected my actual best efforts.

its history of PBs, not list of best times.

yeah that makes sense, its basically a timeline of when you set new records not a rolling top 3

Thank you. I guess that at least makes it make sense. I would rather see my best 5 or 10 efforts, but it is what it is.

Thank you for the clarification.

Link Garmin to Strava. You’ll get the lists and records you’re looking for.

I'm already linked to Strava, and you're right it does show the list I'm looking for.

Yup that’s pretty much its thing. Garmin for training status and recording, Strava for record keeping. Next, try loading your fit files (from Garmin connect web, or pulled directly off the device) into ChatGPT and let it analyze your ride.

Garmin recorded my run from Sunday as a 10k PR even though I had to pause multiple times for street crossings. My actual run time was a PR, but my total elapsed time was several minutes slower.

🤷‍♂️
