FIT File Repair Request (Triathlon)

Hi,

I finished the Hölle von Q triathlon in Germany today but unfortunately it seems like Garmin produced a corrupt FIT file. It's a multisport activity. I can't sync it or manually upload it. Is anyone out there able to help and fix the file? I already played around with some websites and tools but I don't really know what I'm doing or what the actual problem is.

I've tried to attach the file to this post. Hope that works.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Martin

Check for firmware updates using Garmin Express

HRM-Pro, Pro Plus, Tri, and Swim will sometimes corrupt activity fit files

Use the HRM download feature only after an activity where it was not possible to wear the watch
Update the HRM firmware How Do I Update the HRM-Pro Software Using the Garmin Connect App?
During the HRM-Pro download process keep the strap and watch in close proximity
If issues persist even after the firmware update, contact Garmin Support
