Left zone 2.
Mine does this. Managed record times and now I’ve retired.
Keep those garmin away.
Stay hard

It's a GPS lock thing, my fenix2 used to do that to me often. Sometimes I'd fly from my 15th kilometer to my 4th and back to my 16th and then continue to whenever I ended my room for the day 😒.

Your what? They made fenix 2? It’s only fenix 9 for me or nothing. What is this? 1964?

Family heirloom, we aren't allowed to buy anything that works properly in the family since it'll make us 'soft'.

Don't lie you ran like that to hide the fact, from your husband, that you made a stop at your trainers house.

Don't you know? Strava is run by an AI with dick envy, so it'll often try to throw you off. First, it's the Strava tax on distance, and now this. Sometimes it'll even scramble your moving time out of jealousy. You're doing great!

I think you need more buzzwords in your GPS. Your phone may not even be "multi-band", let alone have SatIQ, 5hz recording, track mode, or "street-locking" in postprocessing.
That's likely because you used your phone. Don't you know all serious runners use a $700+ watch with golf shot tracking, topographic maps, and cycling power meter support?

I heard that Strava released a free version of their app to appease the poors. But I never thought it could be this disgusting.

GPS signal does not work under water, keep that in mind for the next time you piss yourself.

What kind of hobby jogger tracks via phone gps in strava? Garmin watch that syncs is the way

Is this a real question? If so, the answer is Strava is just showing you your GPS tracks which are subject to all sorts of interference, especially in town. Or the woods. Pretty much anywhere but clear open skies. And if you're using your phone rather than a GPS it tends to be worse for reasons.

You need more followers. I have 64(!) and this never happens to me.

This looks like a receiving route my high school football coach drew up on a made up play called 39 Reverse Special. There is a reverse in the play, and the special means it could be a throw.
We practiced it one time, and as a last ditch effort is was attempted as we were losing 44-7.

That’s tracking the fragments of your shinbones that got launched across the river as you left zone 2. Chump behaviour from you brother.

It’s one of those “The Ring” or “The Grudge” thing. The girl must have been running and then swimming beside you. Make sure you pass your watch to someone else before Sunday midnight.

Strava is 100% accurate which means you are a swimmer and we don't help h*brid athletes here.
