Corrupted .fit file

Hi Garmin community, hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Ive done a swim this morning and as I was getting out of the pool, the activity cleared instead of saving. I've tried to manually upload to Garmin but it doesnt work. When I upload to strava (at the suggestion of garmin support), it works, but it's missing the last ~7:30 minutes from my swim and I also can't export it again from strava to load back into garmin connect.

I've googled everything and tried the automated fixers but they keep giving me errors or just dont accept the file. I've used FitFileExplorer on Mac which reads it and it looks like all the data is there from the swim, but it's missing a stop time, which is maybe why it's corrupt? Can anyone help me on how to edit these files, or potentially just add a stop time?

I've tried converting to csv as well in order to edit, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I've also tried downloading the Fit file sdk but the download link is broken.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

This should work for you - ABK84327-fixed.zip

Repaired using FFRT. Unzip the file then import into Garmin Connect using the import data page. The message from FFRT was "The recording ended abruptly and without the expected summary records. Probably data records at the end of the recording are missing."

I'm not sure if it's all there, because it ended abruptly at 27:13.

For future reference, here are some tools that can repair FIT files
