Garmin file won't upload to

I was out of cell phone reception and when I got back tried to upload this run (attached below). Not sure if just another corrupt file or what but I have everything up to date. Any ideas to prevent this from happening are welcome. B7570137.zip

    The "entry level" Forerunners (F25/30/35) seem to be prone to corrupt files. I see what seems like10 times the amount of corrupt file posts from them vs. other devices. Nonetheless, here are some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files:

    • After verifying that everything has synced, remove the files in the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder on the device’s file system using these directions: Removing Recorded Activities on a Garmin Fitness Device If you're using a Mac computer, empty the trash folder before you unplug your device from the computer
    • Avoid excessive button presses such as pausing during your activity. If you pause frequently during your run, consider turning on auto pause
    • Regularly check for firmware updates using Garmin Express
    • If issues with corrupt files persist, contact Garmin Support
