To use Strava in order to measure
something in order to:
1) Capture data in an effort to feed your analytics addiction
2) Impress/
shame other athletes based on on you data
3) Feed your
ego (typically has the reverse effect due to your ride data)
4) All of the above
- It was too
cold outside to ride my
bike, but since I'm addicted to data collection and analytics, I considered Stravaing my indoor ride to ensure I had a complete training record.
- A high profile cyclist had recently started following me on Strava, so I felt compelled to start Stravaing my indoor rides to prove I am a worthy cyclist.
- Due to the "ride data or it didn't happen" principle, Stravaing your indoor rides is mandatory.
