There may have been a breeze at the airport, but there was no wind whatsoever out here, apart from what we generated from our efforts - and many people generated a fair amount of that tonight! The women continued to excel with the top three all improving upon their previous database bests, while the top three men added sub-20 minute times to their excellent set of performances. Note that Sue has now tied Meshy Holt's second best time and is just 30 seconds off of Meshy's phenomenal 20:06 set on 2002-Jul-18. Meanwhile, Jennifer improved upon her Tuesday WTT series record with a PB by 10 seconds and a new VAF record eclipsing the former mark, set back on 2001-May-10 by Anne Samplonius (one of Canada's top pro riders) by 3 seconds. As well Allison took 18 seconds off of her previous best. The lighter women in particular are benefiting from the smoother course this year.
