(Nothing too dramatic. Sorry. I’ve just always wanted to write one of those headlines.)
As you might have read yesterday morning Kim kicked off the cycling season by stealing another of my QOMs!
Of all the comments on Facebook when I shared this news, as one does, I liked my partner Jeff’s response best, “it’s early days.” It’s the start of the cycling season and time to rebuild fitness I’m not going to worry about QOMs just yet
Later, I’ll worry. Here’s my post about end of season QOM hunting.
There are two ways to be best on a particular segment of a ride on Strava, all time best and best so far this year. I laughed yesterday because I’m currently the fastest woman riding up the hill to campus in 2017. That’s because so far this year I’m the only woman who’s ridden up the hill and who uses Strava. My time is 1:14, not even close to my own personal best of 44 seconds. That was in October 2015
It’s not bad overall, 7th, but I plan to move up the list this summer. Kim currently holds the all time QOM at 29 seconds. I think that one is safe in her hands
You need to get a good run at it, have the traffic light timed perfectly, and not have any students or geese walk out in front of you. I’m usually too fearful to go all out. But maybe on the weekend, or early in the morning, maybe…
Wish me luck!
Here’s how I feel end of season about Strava QOMs.
But this is more how I feel right now.
……and wait for a sneaky tailwind! 😉
