Anyone see the new Strava Power Skills? Apparently I’m a world class sprinter :rofl: [1000012711] Feeling so special right now……

I’ve been asking for it in every survey for years. I don’t really want to see pickleball and lawn mowing on my strava feed, even i…

Honestly, I’m just so happy for all of us :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
