tcx file import failed from spin bike app

I'm trying to figure out how I could import tcx file form my Chrono Power spin bike to Garmin Connect. This file is able to be uploaded to Strava but I'd rather have everything in one place which is Garmin Connect. I have a vivoactive 4 watch so that's where I track it all. I am mainly interested in getting Power Zone (watt) data imported. Strava requires premium subscription to see "zones". Can Garmin connect have power zone data fields, similar to how heart rate zones show up from running and other activities?

Maybe someone can check these tcx files for me but tcx file from my spin bike fails to upload here https://connect.garmin.com/modern/import-data

The export file from Strava does upload correctly except there is no power zone/watt data that gets imported.

Thanks

I was able to repair your TCX file using Fit File Repair Tool. - export from spin app-fixed1.zip

If you have a lot of these to fix, you might consider purchasing a software license. Only runs on a Windows computer, as it uses Microsoft Access.

In this case the repair tool has an option for indoor cycling activities that calculates timestamps based on speed and distance values.

Which takes the original data from this:

oh wow, your fixed file imported beautifully. I will need to mess around with Fit File Repair Tool later. Thanks

I think my vivoactive 4 does not have a feature to define custom power zones. I followed steps from https://support.garmin.com/en-NZ/marine/faq/IBEVG6piMt9ISPmUOLAFD7/ . Within user settings on the connect website or the phone app, the only thing I can change is heart rate zones, not power zones. My data got lumped into default garmin power zones from 0-300 watts. hmmm
