I had a race with 3 laps today and wanted to track each lap as Strava Live segment to see how I performed in real time against my previous PR on the the same race course.
Well, at the race start, segment tracking didn’t start. As we can see on the map the point where I hit Start was about 2 meters after the segment start, so perhaps that is the reason segment tracking failed. However I’d argue that is still very much within the segment tolerance so this should have still worked.
However, on the second lap I went right through the segment start, within 1 meter of as you can see on the map screenshot. The watch had notified me about the upcoming segment, but the tracking still didn’t start.
After that I got disappointed and turned the S+ Segments guide off, so I didn’t try on the third lap.
Does anyone use Strava Live Segments S+ guide on the watch? Does it work for you?
Here is the screenshot from Caltopo that shows the segment (red) overlayed with my activity (blue).
