Can't sync activity to Garmin Connect (need to repair .FIT file)

I did a run today and I believe the .fit file has been corrupted after looking at other people's requests that this happens time to time. I tried to pinpoint where the file might be corrupted but was having troubles, and was wondering if someone might be able to help in this case so I can get the activity onto Garmin Connect ultimately. Thanks! The file has been zipped and attached below.

C5CB5126.zip.

Let me know if anything else is required, thanks!
