Silly STRAVA Racing

I got my first KOM last night even though
Ihad the chain jump off 1 mile from the end this section is 4.4 miles. So next week should get a pb and extend my lead.

My.Legs.Are.Blown Not one PR this afternoon, hardest ride home for a long, long time. Felt like one of my first commutes will try a couple of sub 15mph recovery rides tomorrow...... maybe!

I was going to attempt 3 KoM''s this evening - 2.5 miles in total and 2 are a subset of the other. It would have added about 10 miles to my commute. I bottled out in the end, knackered and KoM average is up in the 24's so would have to be on form to get close.

Come on you need to get on Brinny Hill.

Bit urban for me that. At the moment I only have to compete against the likes of Kristian House, Mike Cumming, Chris Jennings etc If I start going urban I will have to deal with Potsy Fossy and gb155 as well

Chasing segments daily and on an extended 30 Mike commute is killing me

But it's like crack this game, you just can't give it up and push for more hits each and every day

Think I made top 5 on a flat sprint (on a ss))

hmmmmm legs felt better this morning but the all the new blood on the road coming out of their winter hibernation I ended up not doing a proper recovery I still did a reasonable time & average speed. I did try to just sit behind one but couldn't resist it after a mile or so, my HR was 92 sitting behind him.

I find myself glancing across at cyclists' handlebars as i pass/get passed to see if they have a garmin/phone. I am addicted.

Damn this silly strava racing

For a laugh I thought I would try it out with data from this mornings ride, discovered there is only one segment on this mornings ride, it is an uphill drag that if you have a tailwind is basically like cycling on the flat.
As it turns out, even though I have been up it much faster in the past, I happened to have the second fastest time out of 27 people.
So now I have to go back to that segment and give some proper effort

Got another colleague to try brinny hill this morning, he's 3st lighter than me so thought he'd breeze up it, but no, 40 seconds slower

Took a slightly different route home last night. When I uploaded the data, I discovered I'd got a KOM on a segment I'd just ridden for the first time. And because I didn't know it was a segment, I WASN'T EVEN TRYING!

Tempted to go the same way again tonight...

Anyone know if you can have 2 GPS apps using the data at the same time on an iPhone? I fancy seeing what this app is about/like, but dont want to is it means I have to not record my entire route on Runtastic.
