Second run ever... first corrupt fit file

Hey everyone.

I was really excited to get my first smart running watch and now I'm pretty bummed out.

Finished my run and viewed my stats right after. Everything seemed great and I saved the data. After cooling down and driving home I noticed it did not upload to Strava or Nike+ and I can no longer view the stats. Instead when I try to view it (it shows distance and time still in my runs) it gets stuck loading. None of the tools I could find online have made it any better.

The only weird thing I did was adjust some settings on the watch mid run because I'm still getting it all figured out.

Here is the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oHeRUorr782sQAtKgl2UAl5-JgwW0bxF/view?usp=sharing

Can anything be recovered? If it can can the file be reuploaded to Garmin Connect or does it have to go directly on Strava/Nike+?

Thanks so much!

    ahum....your earned beers spilled your fit file about 2.4km into your run Smile

    refilled the missing beer data, updated file length and recalculated checksum

    Can anything be recovered?

    yes, done

    If it can can the file be reuploaded to Garmin Connect

    yes, upload or import the fixed activity via Garmin Connect Web

    or does it have to go directly on Strava/Nike+?

    when the above upload does not sync to Stxxxx go direct to Stxxxx

  • Oh sheesh I just thought it was a fun little piece of data and was mad it didn't show up after I set it last time! 

    Think I should just run without it or was activating it late the issue?

    Thanks for the help!

    only test and use what has a positive contribution to your activities

    I use only CIQ apps that supports my hardware, like stryd footpod or runscribe footpods
