Max King Broke Strava

8 July 2022

David Roche on Twitter:

Fun fact: @MaxKingOR broke the @Strava algorithms for Grade-Adjusted Pace in winning Mt. Marathon. The ~1 mi downhill drops 2800 ft, an insane steepness that causes the GAP algorithm to think it’s impossible to run. The result? A 3:55 min/mi GAP downhill! With parts at 2:30 GAP

Kind of fun to realize that we as humans are still capable of pushing the AIs beyond their capacity. We still rule – for now.
