Are you on Strava? If so, do you have some KOM’s that you’re so proudly holding onto? Yeah, I’m sure you’ve got some nice one’s in your name….but what happens when you get that dreaded e-mail saying:

Yeah, it sucks doesn’t it?
I don’t really consider myself ultra-competitive, but whenever I’ve had a KOM taken away I get fired up.
Here’s 3 things to do if your Strava KOM gets taken away.
- Send a friendly message congratulating the one who stole your KOM away from you.
- Immediately jump on your bike and go after regaining your KOM.
- Get mad, give up, and never jump on your bike ever again.
Most of the time I chose option number 2. But just over the weekend I had one of my coveted hill climb KOM’s taken away…..and for the first time I’m wondering if I’m able to get it back.
This one is a serious climb and I feel that I’ve given it my full out effort in the past, and not sure if I can make up the time necessary to get it back. Yeah, I say that….but I already know I’ll be going after it one day soon.
Watch out Mr. Jarvis…..I’m coming for you.
