Silly STRAVA Racing

Love how I got 8th of a segment I didn't technically do - http://app.strava.com/segments/1394331
When I actually took a different route - http://app.strava.com/rides/20734076#371769404

Oooo, I'm 4th (that must be a relatively new segment - not spotted it before)

I reckon that one is possible to get KOM on. I'll give it a go over the next few days.
Just looked at the guy who has KOM, he has a zero stationary time, so either got very lucky with the lights, or jumped a few.

anyone had problems getting strava to match a private segment against your own rides? Trying to set one up today but only showing the one ride!

Private segment - that's just wrong man...

You sometimes get problems with segments if the gps has wandered a bit and it doesn't match the route. There is a medium sized segment I do that has been done by about 40 people. It ends with a hill, and I tried marking just the hill as a segment. It show that it has only been done once by 1 person (me) and despite having done the route half a dozen times since it still doesn't show me doing it again.

Remark the segment with a ride which matches the road better.

You sure the guy wasn't in his car when he got that time ?

Gaz-he ok with releasing that. Was still testing it the other day?

Really good percentile stats on there. What's your hminimum percentile position ?

I got an e-mail about it today, so guess it is ok for release.
I've not been able to load my rides, had to e-mail him about it.

I wish Strava would show your KOM's when you are joint in your list of KOM's I got one this morning , little crown etc. joint with two others. However if I look in my list of KOM's it doesn't show up.

It's in the FaQ's. KoM doesn't show unless you beat an historic time.
