Hi.

I ran in a 10k race last night. My official time was 37:01. 

When I crossed the finish I stopped my Garmin, had a breather for 30 seconds but then accidently started my watch again for a brief second before stopping it and saving the activity.

Strava is now showing the elapsed time as 37:31 (so it has obviously taken into account the 'pause' in the activity).

This has messed up my splits and records for the the race.

Is there any way to delete this 30 second pause and brief restart? I tried cropping the activity but this just takes distance off rather than the 'pause'.

I kind of get the feature as you could otherwise run insane times by abusing the pause feature but surely there is a way to edit this?

Thanks 

Hi ​@Leicesterfan,

cropping the end of the activity (i.e.  moving the 2nd slider) should work as you need, and if you weren't moving, it shouldn't take off any distance. However, the slider may not be fine enough, so even the smallest step may be cutting off too much..?

There's no other way of doing this directly in Strava, you can try some 3rd party tool to edit the .fit file and import it manually, if it's worth the hassle. 

I’ve used the crop feature to remove time like you are looking for.  I would zoom as far in as you can and then use the “back” button on the top right of the map to incrementally move the end point back. As soon as you see any movement, stop there.  it may trim a tiny fraction of distance, but it should include all of the extra time that was accounted for while standing at the finish line. 

If you are concerned with losing the data, you could export the .gpx or original data first, then do the crop.  That way, if something messes up, you will still have a full data file to re-upload.
