Why such an obscure place to make the hole?

Did you use all at once.

That was the only place I could get a grip with the scissors. Yes, used it all at once.

So the child-proof cap worked?

Maybe ask an adult to open it next time... :p

:D yes, childproof lock worked, that's a good thing. I had 4 bottles to open and my hands were raw from trying, almost asked the gardener from next door to help.

It's starts off like that, but they will get faster. I had someone beat my KOM by 2 seconds, and it just got worse after that. Now I'm 5th...

KOM is a cycling term referring to King of the Mountain (there is also QOM). It normally gets used in races to to refer to the first person that reaches the highest point on the route. On Strava however the fastest person on a segment, does not matter what elevation, is called the KOM of that segment. Some people are what you call segment hunters and they will actively seek out segments and put all their effort into being the KOM on those. Others, like me, might happened to have a good day on a ride and as part of it you do a segment fast and thus become the KOM. That was the case with the KOM in my screenshot. I just had a very good ride home and was surprised that I hit a KOM on it. Didn't last long though.

I actually used Sports-Tracker. When I discovered Strava I ported a lot of my workouts accorss and with that came some KOMs. As more of my friend joined Strava the social side has taken off so I quite like it now.

The worst is when your Strava KOM is taken by some idiot with his bicycle strapped to his car carrier. Now that irritates me.

*i.e. a 2 km climb with average 8% gradient at 55 km/h :mad:
