Loved this Strava airport piece.

Reminded me of the O.J. Simpson Hertz commercial from many years ago. He runs with luggage through some airport trying to catch a flight….I love that Strava users put their otherwise wasted airport time to good use!

awesome, thanks for putting these segments together!

our local airport is so small that it doesn't have any segments, it does have its own race, though: https://www.airportrace.de/

Your local airport does not have any segments … yet! Maybe it’s just waiting for you, Nico! πŸ˜„

it's Germany's oldest airport. It's tiny, no need to run to get anywhere in time :)

Using all my airmiles to 1) become THE Local Legend of LAX and 2) be arrested for being too smelly on the flight? I can do it!

Showering in the sink of the Admiral’s Club, remarking to the horrified SVP one sink over, β€œYeah, heavy training load right now.”

I did some sprints in MDW a few months back. Glad to know I'm not alone in this! https://www.strava.com/segments/37226700
