I was on vacation on a long thin island in the outer banks and got a 3 mile long segment KOM that was largely due to a honking strong tail wind and outbound car traffic that I found makes holes as each car passes. I was bored one afternoon and saw that the winds and ferry timing was just about right for just about anything to move fast. I am not KOM crazy and am thinking of deleting the ride as it is not indicative of my power and skill. Thoughts?

I did grab another one that I plan to keep. While it did have some tail wind I hammered at top HR for the entire 12 mile pass and I suspect that all the other fast runs on that segment were also tail wind rides. it is an island and there is always some wind.
