I watched most of the first night. Definitely worth watching. I remember that sprint that he lost to the Russian on the Polti team. “And Uchikov has everything!” When I was sort of fast I used to say that to people I would best.

that was pretty sweet. I would love to have the opportunity to try something a 1/4 of the that.

I see it this way - they had this vision of Strava turning into more of a social network than anything else. Facebook for athletes. And if they got tons of people to sign up, they would have tons of data to sell to 3rd parties, and the venture capital people could cash out with a huge return.
But it didn't work - people didn't want another social network site. If I wanted Facebook, I would have signed up for it. Really people just wanted to keep track of their workouts, but the venture capital people aren't interested in that because it doesn't lead to the explosive growth that they need in order to cash out.

I found it informative but it could have been more riveting. Maybe in part 2.
I looked around the forums yesterday and was surprised there was no discussion whatsoever about it. Maybe in part 2.

Ohhhhhh don’t remind me. And I was in Texas at the time too. Our sign of quality was the brand with the little worm in it, I doubt they still allow that nonsense.
