Exactly, it's to prove you can climb and recover fast

I was waiting for a mate. ;)
The other week I attacked a New local Climb. One thats on the local climbers competition. I near trashed both my heart and my bike, fighting to the top of the mountain up a 10% gravel, and loose rock, covered trail. Turns out I'd overshot the segment by a full kilometer or so.
Obviously I made a New segment ASAP. But it turns out the XC crew Train there too.

The number of similar segments is frustrating. But not as frustrating as the weird ones that seem to have illogicall starts and finishes.
Theres a short Sharp Climb on one of my favourate roads. Real 90 second test of the old ticker. I nabbed the 2015 KOM (big wow), and set a PB on Monday. I analyzed the segment to check my HR, and it turns out the last 15% of the segment was spent freewheeling, as it continues well after the Climb is finished. Bloody annoying. But I dont really want to make a near duplicat.
