This was the coolest weather we have had in this series since April 30, and the temperature, along with the strong North wind and the high air pressure gave us a few excuses for almost all being significantly slower than our 2005-OTT bests. Today's EventFactor would have been considerably lower had it not been for Joel Katz, out for his second time trial on his new bike. Joel wondered how quickly he might have ridden had the weather conditions been more favourable. Certainly we'll never know, but considering that the next biggest Performance Ratio of anyone's performance today relative to their previous 2005 OTT best was Terry's 0.8332, we can say that if Joel's performance today was in line with this ratio, his time today would be associated with one of 21:08 under more ideal conditions. This is a minute and two seconds better than Joel did on his old bicycle this season. We'll look forward to seeing how well Joel does on his new vehicle next season!
