Corrupt FIT-file

Hi, all!

I've just finished a 180km ride which I was eager to upload to the Connect app, and Strava. However the FIT-file seems to be corrupt. I've tried recovering it through gotoes.org, but only seem to get the first half of the ride. I'm not tech savvy at all, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to recover the full file? Would truly appreciate it, as it would suck to lose out on such a long ride... I'll attach the corrupt file as well, if anyone has any idea how to fix it.

only 89km in the provided fit file, no additional data present

Thanks for checking! That’s what I managed to retrieve as well. I find it weird as the actual length/duration is stated on the Edge device (see photo), but I guess it can’t have saved properly or something… thanks for trying anyway!

Just curious what might have happened, since this looks like an out-and-back ride. Did you continue on after returning to the start? Did the route twice?

Probably just the summary data showing on the Edge.

Hey! Yeah, that is right. Did the same route twice. After the first round I took a 20-or so minute break to fill bottles, apply sunscreen and cool down, as temperatures hit some 39 degrees Celsius in Kefalonia yesterday. Left the Edge on auto pause, and when I continued it started again and kept counting the stats correctly. All the numbers (watt, speed, km, heart rate etc) seemed to be counted correctly up until the very end, so I thought it was all good once I saved it, but apparently something has failed in the progress… not the end of the world of course, but annoying after a long ride!

indeed annoying and Garmin knows how to do it
