Silly STRAVA Racing

[Kiwiavenger]

Just jumped up 60 places on a ride today, could do it quicker if the bike was better will smash it when I have my own bike back!

I had a look at a Starva segment this morning on my commute in, unfortunately it uses a private road with no public right of way so had to turn back.

You could try using Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/RECUVA to scan the storage of the Garmin for the files. They may still be retrievable so you could upload them manually.

Thanks for the tip, looks like a useful app. Unfortunately not much good to me as a) I'm on a Mac, and b) the FR 405CX connects wirelessly so doesn't mount as a scannable drive.

If anyone's interested, what actually happened was the tracks failed to upload due to the power cut but were still on the FR. After the power came back, the computer thought the rides had uploaded so wouldn't sync with the FR. I thought I'd be clever and record a dummy track to prompt the sync process, which worked, except that it only uploaded the new dummy track, not the ones I really wanted. And then because I had it set to "Erase tracks after upload" it wiped the FR's memory. I looked in the library folder (where tracks are saved to on the computer when uploading) to see if the .tcx files were there, but they weren't. In searching online for a way to recover the lost data, I discovered that what I should have done was a "forced upload". But too late now.

Anyway, I'm just trying to put this terrible trauma behind me now and move on with my life. I may need counselling, but I'll get over it eventually.

Also gives me an excuse (as if I needed one) to go out this evening and have another go...

I know I easily set a PB the other morning on one section but it didn't get picked up. Strava have also said nothing they can do as the GPS dropped out along the section (it was overcast and raining at the time).... damn and blast

Still, I had a good go at it this morning so I hope to get a PB when I upload tonight ( I was also catching my Nemisis along that stretch!)

Nooooooooo!

That segment I failed to record last night, yeah? I reckon I took ten seconds off my time. At least. Maybe more.

Well, tonight my local rival has nicked that segment by five seconds. Five poxy seconds.

AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

And I'm not going to get the chance to try to reclaim it until next week at least.

Pushed it hard on a segment today but got held up by a slow van in front of me and hit an almighty head wind on the last straight. Improved on my 5th overall time to 4th... Must try harder tomorrow!

Noooooooo!

STRAVA IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

DUE TO AN AMAZON WEB SERVICES OUTAGE.


The wait for a time on a segment is killing me ....

[tug benson]

i use strava, and i have just finished a ride, it`s saying the site is down and it won`t let me upload from my phone, will that ride be saved?

 

[400bhp]

Back up now

 

[tug benson]

Aye it`s all good now, upload worked for phone

Out of interest I went to log today's ride; there wouldn't have been any KOMs or PR's as it was the club openday but strava crashed on processing and won't recognise it as not been up loaded when I try to upload it again.

Struggling to upload my ride too HLaB, mine did have some segments where I think I improved my times, will be a bit gutted if I can't sort it.
This message is on the site though-

We're still recovering from an EC2 outage last night. You may see some delays in uploading activities and creating segments. Thanks for your patience.
