Corrupt FIT File

Hello, I have a relatively short run (6 miles) that seems to have corrupted data as it won't upload/sync on Garmin. I tried the Section Remover on Fit File Repair Tool but had no luck, could I please get help with this? Have attached the zipped fit file for reference. Thanks so much in advance! D5MI3742.FIT.zip

This will work - D5MI3742-fixed.fit

No GPS data, so assume this was an indoor treadmill run?

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

Avoid pressing stop or pause during an activity.
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.
Check for firmware updates using Garmin Express.

Wow, thanks so much for the quick resolution! It was an outdoor run but I didn't wait for GPS signal to be fully established before starting so I guess it never found signal. For future reference, if I follow these suggestions but this happens again, how did you perform the fix?
