GC problems
Is anyone else having problems with their Garmin account synching workouts to strava and runningahead? I have my strava and RA set to automatically synch with GC, but this morning my GC activity did not. Then I tried to manually save that workout in both tcx and gpx and neither file will upload to either strava or RA.
