re: how to repair badly distorted audio recording

I have an MP3 voice-only audio file that I recorded in SoundForge version 6.0e (build 237), just like I always have.

However, this time when it reopened and I go to play it, it is so severely distorted, that I can barely make out words.

Words seem to be speeded up way too much and tripping over each other.

Here's what I know about the recording from Properties...

Audio Attributes: 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono
Audio Length: 01:41:13.835 (267,856,128 samples)
[this seems a little strange and disturbing because I thought my recording was a little over 3 hours]
