How to delete part of Garmin file?

Hi Everyone,

 I'm trying to look at the Garmin file from IMWI but I didn't press stop when I got off the bike. My file therefore autopaused and then picked up again when my mom picked the bike up from transition and walked it to the car, obviously way lowering the speed/power data. Any way I can delete this part, or just extract the actual ride so I can get the numbers from the parts I care about?

 

Thanks!

    Not sure if you can truncate the Garmin file.

    That said, if you post the link to Garmin Connect, I could analyse the file for you?
    Cheers

    If you have WKO+, or a premium account at TrainingPeaks.com, you can load the file into one of those, and then isolate just the part of it you want to evaluate.

    It's been a while but when I was using SportTracks http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/sporttracks/ There was a way to trim &/or split a file. Its shareware so no cost.

    I think you can trim/edit the garmin file with Golden Cheetah (at least I was able to today).

    To actually edit the file you can do the following:
    - Upload to Garmin Connect
    - Export as a TCX file to your desktop
    - Open the TCX in WordPad or another text editor
    - Manually delete the end of the workout, taking care not to delete the metadata at the very end of the file
    - Save the file and close it
    - Go to Garmin Connect and choose "manual upload", browse for the edited file on your desktop and select it to upload

    It is a lot trickier to delete data in the middle of a file because the timestamps get messed up. But deleting extra time at the end because you forgot to stop the watch / bike computer is easy using the above process.
