Corrupt Fit File Help

I dropped my Edge 800 on my way from my bike to my desk after my ride last night and the unit reset.

The fit file is on the device but won't upload to garming connect / strava / etc.

I tried 3 or 4 websites that claimed to fix fit files and none of them worked for me, probably because I don't know what I'm doing.

Also, many corrupt files can be fixed by FIT File Tools, using the section remover without any adjustments. Then change the activity type from "Other" to "Cycling." I tested your file to verify that this will work.
