Corrupt fit-file? How to fix?

Hi there!

My device is syncing, but my latest activity does not show up in GC. Manual upload to the activity-list stucks without error message.

What app do I have to use to open file? Any ideas to get this fixed are welcome! :-D

BrianF - 1/3rd of your file was corrupted and 1/3 looks like it was from an activity you did the day before. The file contains what was able to be recovered.

Mike,
Thank you so much for trying. I'll give it a shot.

Any idea what makes a file corrupted? How to prevent in the future?

Thanks,
Brian

Hello Mike,
I am hoping your magical abilities can help me and my son. He did a MTB ride today and he feels that he set some personal records on Strava. Sadly the file from his vivoactive HR was corrupt when we tried uploading it tonight. Wondering if you can help. Thanks so much! You are so awesome to help folks out with this.

Also posted the file here in Dropbox:

Hello,

Hoping that you can work your magic on this one. Only happen occasionally with indoor swims.

Thanks,
