Guy I raced against years ago visits my city just to steal all my Strava segments

This video is hilarious; this isn't harassment, it's pure comedy. The only logical solution is to take back the segments, if you wanna prove that you're the alpha dog in the area (but based on what you wrote, it seems like you're not gonna do anything about it). Stop being a baby and get off your butt and take the segments back! Imagine getting called out and going into hiding instead of getting some payback!

Can't blame a guy for wanting to KOM

Pipi Runner threw a hissy fit when Craig Lutz took a bunch of his segments a few years ago.

I can't watch 8 minute of that but he seems incredible toxic and self consumed. Get a life.

Another fun idea for a busy parent with a kid might be to drive to his rival's home every night precisely at the same time like 2 am and ring the doorbell. Hmmm, let me think of some more.

I’m too old, slow, and unmotivated now…

But I always thought it would be hilarious and a fun venture to create an anonymous strava account “Racer X” and just go around taking fast segments to keep running fun.

OP is so desperate to get views on his mildly funny video.

Reminds me of when I ran into live traffic to catch a segment crown.

Yeah or this could be someone trolling

This also happened to me with an acquaintance. The guy lived approximately 30 minutes from me and would drive to my town several times per week to try to take my segments. I tried to talk to him about it; however, he would not stop so I finally had to block him on Strava and go private/request to follow. After going private he still took one or two segments from me but soon lost interest since I no longer interacted with him. I think these ‘Strava stalkers’ are looking for attention, insecure and jealous of what the other person has. Blocking is the mildest and most mature way of handling it.

Awesome. I forget the name, bike racer, maybe Phil Garmon, went all over the country and broke all the known dopers' Stravas to erase them

Either you or he or both are losers. Race results count. Strava segment "wins" are for losers.

Just go get your car and mark it as a run. Too easy. You’ll be strava king in no time! In all seriousness, I would quit strava. Biggest waste of time and energy.

Good point. That oblong noggin is a tell-tale sign of mental disturbance much of the time.

Filming his face from underneath is not doing him any favors.

I’ve actually followed cicirunner for years and he’s awesome. The ideal ‘weekend warrior’ type of runner where he doesn’t have crazy talent but trains hard tends to over-perform on race day. Takes that ‘alpha mindset’ to the local turkey trot because why not? Letsrunners should appreciate something like that. Basically maxing out your modest athletic talent (ie breaking 16 in the 5k)

I think he’s cooked this guy in more that 2-3 races I could be wrong though. It’s one of those things where attitude difference is so stark.

No one GAF. If all you got left is Strava segments to hang your hat on....you are way past being competitive. Dump your account and just go out and enjoy your runs

I’m confused, I thought Strava was where you could post workouts. He’s coming into town to run the same training loops as you? How old are you? Block the man and move on with your life.

Not sure how LRC didn't realize immediately that the OP is the guy in the video posing as the target. C'mon. Moderately funny though.
