humph... problem is I want to be visible, but I don't want to compete.
Technically it isn't actually for me... sort of. It sounds a bit weird but there was some chat amongst some friends wondering what our dogs got up to when they came on training runs with us, and the suggestion that it would be fun to strap a GPS to them (it also came up in the running thread on here). I had a spare gps with a broken strap which I've been fixing to the dog's collar and then uploading to strava to view and to share with friends who expressed an interest.
Until now it hasn't been a problem because we've just done slow runs in areas with no segments, but a couple of days ago I did a session that included 15minutes at race pace and now the dog and I sit top two on a whole string of local segments. To me it's just a trivial, silly bit of fun, but given how competitive some people get about strava, I can imagine some people complaining about loosing their precious CRs to a dog (if they work it out). To avoid any awkwardness I don't want her to appear on the leaderboards, but it would be nice if people could still look at her runs if they want to.
At the moment I'm just setting any runs where she gets a CR to private and then just leaving the rest visible.
