Silly STRAVA Racing

[HLaB]

This baffles me a bit. Why would someone (who isn't KoM) set up a segment that is shorter and is entirely within another segment? I got two KoM's and one second place on 3 new segments created that are within another of my KoM's.

Makes no sense.

I've been way behind on a segment, then realised it goes through a signalised junction or something and set up a shorter segment, one that end before the junction, to get a correct gauge (comparison) of how I did up a hill. Are they segments like that ?

I'm gonna be shoved well down the order after the TDF comes through here. :-)

Set 3 new segments today, and I am in top 10 on all of them.

http://app.strava.com/activities/37811602#611276806 9th
http://app.strava.com/activities/37811602#611277968 7th
http://app.strava.com/activities/37811602#611280127 12th (almost top 10)

But I guess the little tailwind that I had might have helped.

I can understand that, i have a downhill segment i do on my commute but i start with a right turn at a roundabout from normally a dead stop whereas if i were to come from the left i could be doing 20 mph + at the start.
I know i could come from the other way and try to get a better time but its at the end of my commute at the end of the day .

Things I learned on the CC ecosse ride yesterday:

• The Garmin goes in pause mode when stopped, but idle time still counts on Strava.
• The parking area at the top of the Queens View where we stopped to catch our breath admire the view is ever so slightly earlier than the end of the strava segment.

Result: 157th place of 160 at a majestic 7.6 km/h

You can turn that off in the settings.

your keen to get followers but Strava isn't facebook, it's not about how many mates you have, it's all about speed, epic rides and KOM's! Keep putting miles in and post your rides and celebrate your KOM's on the forum... if people wanna follow you they will

The Garmin took the longest time ever this morning to locate my position. Probably due to the heavy snowfall acting like a barrier.

Had a nice tailwind though and set a few PR's.

Sorry you are too slow to warrant my "follow". Increase your average speed by at least 5 mph and we can reconsider the state of things.

Have you ever heard of Marco Pinotti?

They haven't, the displaced KOM is commenting on one of his rides ironically it looks like a rest day and the run when he smashed the KOM was on Saturday .

To be fair I think he was taking the pish.
