Repairing a Multisport Fit File

bluc1969 over 2 years ago

Hello everybody,

last Sunday I did the IM in Barcelona.

I registered my race on my Forerunner 945 but I discovered that the file is corrupted and I cannot load it on Garmin Connect.

Could some help and fix it for me?

This is the file: [solved]

Thanks

Luca

Some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files:

Sync your watch then remove all activity fit files from the device using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities on a Garmin Fitness Device
Regularly check for firmware updates using Garmin Express
Please report back here when you encounter corrupted files again

Also, HRM-Pro will sometimes corrupt activity fit files

Update the HRM firmware How Do I Update the HRM-Pro Software Using the Garmin Connect App?
Note that HR data download after the activity is usually for swimming or when for some reason you could not wear your watch during an activity.
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
More here about corrupted HR data: Corrupt FIT File Repair Requests
