Silly STRAVA Racing

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

Right then, I will just have to ride it faster........

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.

Just uploaded today's commute & noticed your time...ouch, 9 seconds.

Yes... I got some lights right at the end which lost it.
Raceshape shows that is true.

I got a joint second place yesterday on a segment I didnt know existed by 1 second!!! I did have a truck and car overtake me which I drafted a bit until hit 48 mph downhill when they left me I need an 11 tooth cassette cause I spun out quite near the top. Also 3rd on a climb so when the weight does drop off I'll be able to fly up it!

I've noticed you've mentioned this a few times. I'm not sure the stationary time is reliable. I'm sure I've looked at a few segments in the past with traffic lights on and when i have stopped, but the stationary time shows as zero.

i checked a segment yesterday when i know i stopped! stationary time of 0 but if you check the performance it shows me as slowing right down to 0.2 MPH (i had stopped for a drink) then speeding up again!

on a brighter note, its the 2 month anniversary of my one and only KOM!!!

Thanks.... Just torn myself away from this an hour spent on it, and the net result was it confirmed I am shite!

In two years I have never used Virtual Partner on my Garmin but now I see there is a website to set up to load segements with VP, christ this could get messy!

Come on then, your best percentile.

Mine - 0.7% (3rd of 439).

Where do I find that?

Hmm.. my stationary time always shows, do you use auto pause when stationary?

I do, yes.

There is an issue with stationary time on STRAVA - it isn't accurate. They [Strava] use a different method to calculate standign time than Garmin do. Seems nonesensical to me.

Look on veloviewer segment list and the column Pos% - sort by this column.
