Broken .FIT file

Is anyone able to fix a broken/corrupted .FIT file for me? I tried using the free tools but wasn't able to. If I had to guess the problem with the file, it was probably because I took long breaks in between sections of a run (it was a brewery run, so we were stopping at different places for beers). I would really appreciate it!

Some tips to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files:

Backup, then remove the files in the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder on the device’s file system using these directions: Removing Recorded Activities on a Garmin Fitness Device If you delete the files in your activity folder with a Mac computer, then empty the trash folder before you unplug your device from the computer.
