Triathlon fit file repair...

Would anyone be kind enough to repair a mangled fit file for me?

My wife pressed stop/start rather than lap throughout a triathlon, but all at the right times. The result is it recorded the swim, the bike leg and the run, but there's a gap (watch was stopped) for T1 and T2, and it's all in a single open water swim activity.

Full disclosure: we've asked for help like this before. We'd be very grateful for more though...

At first glance, 14 kB seems awfully small for a tri.

Using Fit File Repair Tool it might be possible to turn this into a Tri if I knew the exact timestamps for T1, cycling, T2, and running. Usually I can figure this out on my own, but there is no HR data, but might be possible by analyzing the pace

Hi thanks for taking a look. It was a very short (relay) event. All the actual activity is there. Just the transitions are missing, but that's not an issue.

Can you see where the elapsed time jumps or where the gaps in the timestamps are? I don't have splits but if you can see the "stop" being pressed mid-activity, that's the end of the swim and the end of the bike, and "start" being pressed mid activity is the start of the bike and the start of the run, if that makes sense? And please don't go out of your way to preserve it as a Tri if it's easier to snip into three separate activities!

It goes

START ... (swim)... STOP....(missing time is T1)...START .... (bike) .... STOP .... (missing time is T2)....START ... (run)....END.

From the event log of the fit file...

Ha, that's it!
swim 0 - 6:59
(T1 6:59 - 9:56)
bike 9:56 - 19:52
(T2 19:52 - 21:01)
run 21:01 - 29:44

I don't suppose you can split it into the three activities like that? That would be amazing.

The tool allows to easily fix a tri where the athlete started the event as a triathlon, so there are 5 sessions just at the wrong times. This is different where everything was recorded as a swim. I'll see what I can do. I assume Triathlon wasn't selected at the start of the event?

Thanks for your help...It was started as a triathlon activity, but because she never pressed lap (but stop/start instead), it recorded everything in the swim and never moved onto the other disciplines.
