[Closed] What you strava'd other than biking?

sigh...

Brant (of on one) strava'd the big one at Blackpool pleasure beach, according to fb

cut the grass, used the iPhone app, shows the inaccuracies of the GPS - as it didn't log me near the end of the grass, and said i was moving for a lot less than i was

Sigh away bitch tits 🙄

Accidentally stava'd my drive home from Swinley last Saturday.
Mostly M25 hence my overall average speed of 10mph!

Ooh ooh ooh .... I'm so Stravaing my next lawn cut!

sigh...

Problem?

I am also going to strava my next lawn cut and analyse the data to see if I can improve cut times by going up and down or round and round.

endomondo'd the search for a model rocket that we'd launched in Scotland and lost (theory being that we could see where we'd missed in the search, and compare it to map and program some waypoints for the next day - we found it the next day in a river)

also endomondo'd a ride down on the Cairngorm funicular

plane from LA to Heathrow, tagged on to the end of a bike ride

I cropped it, but I guess my average speed was good 8)

3 laps of the whitepost petting farm kids pedal cart track...... still KOM

Mowing the lawn... strangely I got more kudos than normal!

Foot surveillance for a flasher 😀

Slightly less frivolously I have an XC skiing KOM (yes I am the only one on the list - I suspect I'm the only person to ever Strava XC skiing in Eastnor park, though probably not the only person to have skied there). That was deliberately uploaded to Strava, as I use a GPS watch rather than a phone and only upload automatically to Garmin Connect. To complete my skiing triumvirate I also have roller ski and surfski ( 😉 ) sessions on Strava - not too many hills in the latter.

Intercity 125 on the east coast mainline for about 3 miles, to see how fast it was actually going. Burned about 3000 calories too, proving train travel is excellent for weight loss.

Surprisingly it doesn't work on west coast Virgin trains. They must have some kind of film on the windows that kills the GPS signal.

Knitting.

cut the grass, used the iPhone app, shows the inaccuracies of the GPS

Just running for me but only been using it a couple months, if I go snowboarding again will clock that, always wondered what sort of speed (average speeds, wouldn't trust strava max mph anyway) and distances I travelled

Not strata but still gps tracking
Strapped gps to dog collar, and logged the dog walk
Iphone on me, compared the two, dog walked over twice my distance

spreading grass seed on a 3 acre field with a spinner on the quad-bike. 2 miles I covered.

Know someone who Straved his trip in the air ambulance. Think he recorded over 200kmph.

I have used GPS on Virgin Trains and it definitely worked. Coming back from London one night wanted to know where we were, put on the GPS, Google Maps on phone and showed exact position. Did not connect to Strava however!

I rowed around Derwent Water

So looking at the iphone grass cutting strava - does that not prove that anyone claiming a KOM using that poor a GPS is invalid ?

(Unless of coures, you did have grass on your roof)

Forgot to turn mine off after a night ride and Strava'd the drive to the pub. Loads of KOMS by quite some margin.

From a club perspective I think there needs to be a segment from reaching the cars, getting changed and the bikes loaded and then the drive to the pub to grab a pint.

I use it sailing, got a few KOMs on our lake and on the channel.

Anyone use it for speed boats ?

Planning on using it to write a wee message for my bro and his wife, they had twins yesterday 😀

Went go karting last weekend.
Max'd out at around 60kph. No KOM's though 🙁

I've used it for wakeboarding. Surprised me how much difference a head/tail wind made to the speed.

It's only a [s]bit of a laugh[/s] training aid innit?

*for eg some local segments that go gate to gate I'm pretty sure the KOMs were set whilst the gates/fence had been ripped** down so you're not going to beat them if they had a fast rolling start.

** by strava cockwombles, MX/4x4 cockwombles or just your common or garden antisocial cockwombles I don't know.

I strava'd a sea trial once

yep, there's one near work that has someone doing 60mph.

My top ever speed (that modesty caused me to crop) was from a ride to Aberystwith - turned Garmin off, got the train back, then turned Garmin on and rode home from the train station. Poor thing got confused and showed a straight line with almost zero time elapsed from Aber to Birmingham, top speed of eight hundred and something MPH. Have it. 😀

I stravad my trip to hospital.

I went for a run once, just to see if i could do 5k, never again!

that shows the same for all the other top ten folks - doesn't make it accurate, but at least it's consistent

I keep meaning to strava the dog

Making cups of tea,

browsing in the new balance trainer shop in Shap,

sitting at my desk

buying a sausage roll inthe garage

largely due to forgetfulness rather than a keen competitive spirit in the above sports

My friend and I planned to strava her dog and me on the same walk to see the difference in distance between the two. Not got round to it yet. I've only ever strava'd running, clearly not trying hard enough.

I strava my walks occasionally.

[quote=D0NK ]GPS inaccuracies I reckon, maybe stopped at the lights at the bottom his GPS went to sleep then woke up just has he was finishing the segment.

Which is why segments that short - especially wiggly ones like that where the start/finish are far closer than the length of the segment - are kind of pointless.

Which is why segments that short....are kind of pointless.

I'm sure I'm not alone in strava-ing/endomondoing/etc. the taking of a pre- or post-ride cr*p. Probably posted an update to foursquare/twitter too while sat on the throne in Grizedale visitor centre.

Like a timed pit stop?

jimmy748 - that sea trial has you doing a high speed - what were you trialing then ?

My boat has been clocked at 85 knots apparently.

I'm working on integrating the phone accelerometer with Strava then we can add STW's most frequent leisure activity as well.

Did a day out at Alton towers a few weeks ago until my battery ran out.

Strapped gps to dog collar, and logged the dog walk
Iphone on me, compared the two, dog walked over twice my distance.

Yes but the dog has twice as many legs so it equalizes out.

Trimix

Sunseeker 60 predator with volvo ips

We endomondo'd my ex's cat, "to see where she goes all day". Turns out she wandered behind the shed then fell asleep for 12 hours, then wandered back into the house pretending to be an explorer.

Predator - mmm, nice. Im learning to play with a Hydrofoil supported catermaran with twin 175s on the back.

There is a round the Isle of Wight event comming up soon, perhaps I should set the KOM for that.

I've a 68 predator with asd surface drives to commission next week, might strava that one.

Kayaking on Derwent Water made for a suspicious 'run'. Going bouldering made for a dull trace. Running up and down Blencathra is my favourite graph.

I've recorded a few of the rides at Walt Disney Studios next to Disneyland Paris & Thorpe park, my phone gps doesn't like sudden changes in speed and elevation as they were all over the place 😆

I Strava'd a Segway ride/drive that I did at Centre Parcs. I'll upload it when I get home.

I strava'd my post round will not be passing on the info to my managers 🙂

Yesterday's sea trial minus the boring bits

1900cals!!

Best get out for a curry and a few beers before you waste away!

I am also going to strava my next lawn cut and analyse the data to see if I can improve cut times by going up and down or round and round.

That's exactly what farmers do.

Well sort of. They use GPS in combine harvesters to work out yield and where to focus more seed / feed next year. And use GPS for ploughing/cultivating/spraying/seeding to ensure efficient coverage.

Actually I bet they don't use Strava either but I bet there is an app for all that...
