I learned something new today: if you use Ergdata to upload interval workouts, the Logbook weekly/monthly/season totals (in "Season Summary") are NOT the sum of the distances displayed in "View Season".

For a given workout, in "View Season", you will see the total meters and average pace for the active intervals only. However, for the purposes of calculating your weekly/monthly/challenge/season meters, rest meters (which you can see in the detailed view) are also being added up in the background.

I think it's a good thing that "View Season" only displays the numbers that matter, but I find this discrepancy between what you see and what you get a bit odd.

Yep. But C2 has been pretty upfront about that. In the summary for every workout it provides three distances:
- "Meters" at the top, under the green icon (these are your 'active' interval meters)
- Rest Distance (in the table below the green icon summary) - these are your meters completed during rest intervals
- Overall Distance (in the table below the green icon summary) - this is active + rest meters. As you say, these are what constitute your weekly/monthly/season/challenge meters.

This makes sense to me as the most reasonable compromise between folks who only want their 'active' meters counted (they can easily see that summary for every single workout where individualized data matters most) vs those who want to get credit for every meter rowed for the purposes of challenges, qualifying for their million meter clubs, etc.

I'm also not sure it is entirely fair to say that only active meters "matter". Some folks use the warmup/cooldown/rest meters strategically as part of their overall workout, and so feel that it is entirely appropriate/meaningful to count them; others, of course, feel otherwise.
