Import TCX or GPX - An error occurred with your upload. Please try again.

I was able to get the files to import by opening them in a text editor and removing the extra leading spaces around the <> info at the top and bottom of the files

Thank you for writing this up, it worked great and I was getting errors trying to import several other exported formats!

If you have access to Linux, this command will strip out the leading spaces.

while read l; do echo -e "$l"; done <{input_filename} >{output_filename}

Example with filenames:

while read l; do echo -e "$l"; done <23410929.tcx >23410929_fixed.tcx

Spent 30min smacking my head against the keyboard trying to find a solution to this. Thank you so much.
