Garmin File Won't Upload to Garmin Connect ---->The Easy Solution!

I did a short trainer ride this morning and synched my Garmin 910XT right afterwards as usual. But for some reason that particular file wouldn't upload to Garmin Connect. I could see it on my device, but it wouldn't upload! I even checked the local file directory to see if maybe the .fit file was stuck on my pc. I then deleted and re-installed Garmin Express to no avail.

After a few frustrating hours of synching unsuccessfully, I found a possible solution on a forum. There is a function on the 910XT device to manually "force" an upload of all of the files on the device:

Mode--->History--->Tranfer All

To my delight and surprise, upon synching again one final time my file finally appeared as if nothing was wrong in the world. Whew!

Sure I question it myself but if I wasn't able to swim bike and run and challenge myself i'm not sure what I would do. It's not that I'm any good at it I frequently finish in the middle or upper third of my age group if I'm lucky. But coming from someone without an athletic background I'm just so proud of being able to do these events at all that they have become a huge part of my personality and my life.
