Garmin Frustration

Last week my Garmin froze doing a bike workout and I could only upload to Garmin Connect, no where else. I contacted Garmin and they said I'd have to do a hard reset to correct it. I tried it again and it started working so I didn't bother to reset it for my next workout because I didn't want to re-enter all my settings for a third time.

Bad decision.

Today I was doing a hard Zone 4 interval set and when I came to upload, it wouldn't work at all. It is not recognized by Garmin Connect website, Garmin Training Centre or WorkoutLog website. I was actually in tears when I thought I wasn't even going to be able to see my lap data on the device itself but it turned out that once I did started a new workout, the old data showed up so I was able to manually record all 17 laps for Coachprs.

Here's the data I transcribed:

Totals

Dist: 36.45 km
Avg speed: 27.3 kmh
Max speed: 44.5 kmh

Max HR: 178
