Fix corrupt .fit file from F35?

Hi everyone:

I ran a 10-mi race this morning and the activity won't sync. Would anyone be able to repair the file please? I've tried the following

- Importing the file to Garmin Express (says the file type isn't accepted)

- Importing the file to Strava (error message appears)

- All the usual restart the watch/phone/app/bluetooth etc.

- The Garmin online tool (http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/) also did not work; says the file cannot upload because "Upload status: The file could not be uploaded. The following error occurred: Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred. Line 151558, position 9.""

Would really appreciate the assistance as I have no idea what I am doing on these .fit file fixer apps!

Thank you.C4373905.FIT.zip

Thank you - unfortunately this only gave me a 3.9 mile run. Are there other options? Really appreciate your help.

3896023, I got 10.18 miles using the most recent fixed file. Refresh this web page if you don't see C4373905-fixed.fit.
