# Selecting your virtual race workout

For some virtual competitions, syncing a workout is not enough — you must **choose** which activity counts and optionally **finalize** your result so it cannot be changed.

## When this applies

**Distant race** and **challenge race** style virtual competitions show a **My workouts** page after you register. If your competition calculates the result automatically from the first valid sync, you may not see this step — check the event instructions.

## Open your workouts

1. Log in and go to [My competitions](https://distantrace.com/en/accounts/competitions/) (or the competition page → your entry).
2. Open **My workouts** for your registration.
3. DistantRace lists GPS activities that match the competition rules (distance, date window, sport type).

Only activities with **OK** status appear.

## Submit an activity

1. Review elapsed time and distance for each row.
2. Click **Submit** on the workout you want as your official result.
3. DistantRace calculates your time to the required distance and updates standings.

::: tip Competition still open
You can change your submitted workout while the competition is **open** and the result is not yet finalized.

## Finalize your result

When you are satisfied, click **Submit as final** (finalize). After finalization:

- Your result is locked
- You cannot pick a different workout
- The organizer and public results use this time

Finalize only after you are sure no better activity will sync.

## Common issues

| Problem | What to do |
|---------|------------|
| No workouts listed | Wait for sync; check [Supported apps](../connections-with-apps/supported-apps.md) and [Managing your activities](managing-your-activities.md) |
| Cannot submit | Competition may have ended — see `result_submit_after_end` message |
| Overlapping activity used elsewhere | Another entry already finalized an overlapping GPS track |
| Wrong account | Activities synced to a different DistantRace profile |
