Garmin sync producing wrong stats in Strava (outdoor rowing)

I use a Garmin Forerunner 165 to record and sync activities with Strava (Android). Recently, when I do outoor rowing (crew) activities, it syncs with stats like these:

In rowing, these stats are super irrelevant and unhelpful, with workouts measured in meters and splits (/500m) like below:

Has anyone faced the same issue? Is there a way to manually highlight / select / force certain statistics to show via Garmin or via Strava? Having my row data in Strava went from super useful to super irrelevant overnight with no fix.

 

Thanks.

I have just found that if I ignore 'Quick edit' then the data shows as per your second example. I have 3 outdoor rows this week, just one shows the data as the first example and I think that was when I saved with Quick edit.  

For me the training log is often wrong too (some rows saved as 'workout' and the wrong colour so the activity filter doesnt work).  I think this bug was introduced at the  same time as Quick edit.  It would be interesting to know if this is the same for others.
