Silly STRAVA Racing

Are you a premium member?

no, was tempted to see how i stacked up against the fat lads round here but thought against the cost!

go here - https://strava.zendesk.com/requests/new click to login and then just link the URL for your ride and then find the segment you need and put the full segment URL in the request and they will match it for you.

i keep getting disappointed, thought id flown through a sector, didnt match (cause im too damned fast for an accurate GPS lock ) then find its slower then my personal best time!!

Deffo message them to match the segment if you care about it, they tend to do it pretty quickly, I am not really arsed about KOM's etc, but I have messaged them to match a segment before when I have been trying different pacing strategies on a HC course and trying to work out which pacing strategy gives the fastest overall time and for one reason or another some of the runs have not matched.

Thanks guys, here's what I said:

There are two segments I have been working hard on but on the 'big day' that I busted a gut I don't show as having ridden the segment. Help!

SEGMENT ONE
The segment - http://www.strava.com/segments/1740809
The ride - http://www.strava.com/activities/88057610

SEGMENT TWO
The segment - http://www.strava.com/segments/2472857
The ride - http://www.strava.com/activities/85234337

Thank you in advance for your help!


I'm not normally so bothered but these are two segments I worked really hard at, and they're also segments that I set up myself so it would be nice to get them back!

That should be sufficient for them to match your ride, I have posted similar and it resulted in a KOM, good luck.

They should sort that. I did 5 runs at a climb with different pacing strategies, gear ratios etc the other week and 2 of them didn't register, emailed them just to see if they would bother (I could have got the same info myself using Golden Cheetah, but was feeling lazy so decided to try it on) and within 48 hours it was sorted.

I think this is only available to premium members at the moment, but a sneak peak at the beta ride pages, this is the analysis section that shows some nice info.

These are now available to all members paying or not

Evedently for Premium members there is now a new activity view available (I can't see it)

I've just done the same [asked for them to overlay a segment on my ride]. Checked my emails and they sorted it in 26 minutes KoM into a 16mph northerly - muwhahaha

They managed to get me onto this segment
Http://www.strava.com/segments/2472857 I knew I got KOM!

Apparently they can't sort the other one as it is inside my privacy zone, I didn't realise I had set one up!

Have you linked the right segment you are 3rd on that one.

I reported a missing one of mine yesterday they have sorted it for me, result.

That was showing as 21.5mph a few minutes ago on a much newer ride! Gah!

I'll just have to go do it again

Windy commute this morning, but found a new segment, and even managed 9th place

'a little 12%er' ....... http://www.strava.com/segments/5463589

Now I know its there I'll be climbing that leaderboard soon !

 

[Andrew_Culture]

In the last month I've gone from 27 to 35 KOMs, which is the most I've ever had.

I expect them to last at least three days.

I thought the guy says he doesn't do Strava... always mentions it on here anyway Also surprised he rode a BMC not a Specialized...
