Seriously though some people are crazy about that. I know a couple of guys who just go around trying to poach each other's KOMs. And they actually legitimately dislike each other.

I don't personally know anyone who does it, but I see it all the time on forums like Slowtwitch. I'm not a legit cyclist, I just do it because I enjoy triathlon. So I'm used to trying to maintain a constant wattage. Dead sprints in the middle of a ride totally screw me up.
The ride where I set that KOM was right after my fall A race. I was done seriously training for the year, but still in good shape. This segment was right by my house and the conditions were perfect for it (pretty strong tailwind) so I went for it. I went max effort over the segment, and it killed the rest of my ride. It was only ~20 miles, but I totally limped home.
