Garmin file corrupted/malformed on mac

My garmin file is corrupted. I have tried to run it through FITFILETOOLS but it won't work! I can't seem to use FILEREPAIRTOOL on my Mac either. Does anybody have any suggestions? I would really appreciate some help!

Here is the file:

This will work - CA673119-fixed.fit

Fixed using Fit File Repair Tool*

Some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files on a Forerunner 35

Sync your watch, backup the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder, then do a full master reset of your Forerunner 35 using these directions - Restoring All Default Settings
Perform a weekly cleanup of the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space. The F35 seems to have problems with longer activities, so this step is important before a longer event
Please report back here when you encounter corrupted files again

* Requires a licensed version of Fit File Repair Tool on a Windows computer with Microsoft Access installed.
