I've noticed a few times recently that when using my Garmin with Strava Live Segments enabled, it will tell me that I've just completed abcxyz segment in mmss minutes/seconds but by the time this ride gets downloaded to Strava after the ride that segment will end up with a slightly dfferent time.
I've had a few instances where my Garmin has told me that I've just got a PR or, God forbid, even a KOM but that's not been reflected in the final Strava download.
It's always where I've just shaved a couple of seconds off the previous time, not subtstantial tens of seconds or greater.
Anybody else noticed this ?
Any reasons why or ways to avoid ?
Thanks !
I've noticed it (but not because it ever says I got a KOM 😜).
I'd always assumed it's just a discrepancy between which GPS entry the device takes as the start or end of the segment and which one Strava thinks is.
