How to Enter
Entry is easy–the ride is the hard part! Simply join the Zwift Insider Strava Smackdown league on Strava Leagues. Click to join >
Then ride the Epic KOM segment and upload your ride to Strava. (Hint: the easiest way to ride that segment is to choose the “Mountain Route” on Watopia. You will see the Epic KOM timer start at the top of your screen once the climb begins.)
Not sure why but it appears the Epic KOM Forward (ZwiftBlog verified) segment was auto-hidden in Strava.
After unhiding it I don’t see the time in strava leagues, but it might propagate later.
I experienced the same thing. I tried deleting the ride from Strava, and uploaded the fit-file again manually after unhiding. Still no luck. I suspected that maybe there is a time limit or something, because… I’m a bit… slow… when it goes uphill.
Have you tried hitting “connect with Strava” again on the Zwift blog league page? Had to do it again for mine to display.
That helped. Now my miserable time is there for all to see. Thank you!
eagerly awaiting the final results…
