Many thanks to Michael Coiré for taking start and some finish line pictures from the vantage point of the dandelions at the side of the road. I couldn't help but chuckle. Thanks as well to the volunteers who make this event happen!
The air pressure was a little higher than last week, and the breeze a little more, but it was still a very fine time trial night for the 71 entrants. Thirty-Six of the sixty-seven with earlier OTT results in 2015 improved upon their season-series best and fifteen improved upon their previous 15km database personal best. Special congratulations to para hand cyclist Tim Williams for again improving with his incredible 31:44 - that is 28.361 km/h. To do this sort of time using only one's arms is incredible. Also it was great to have Joachim Toelke crack the 20 minute barrier after a number of near misses! He managed 19:58 (45.075km/h). As well, congratulations to Calah Wright for improving in her last 4 finishes and getting a new PB of 21:11 (42.486km/h). She will almost certainly go sub 21 this season. She was first amongst the women tonght while Aaron Fillion (18:31 for 48.605 km/h), his best thus far this season. Finally, the para tandem team of Emma Foy and Laura Thompson finished 2nd overall tonight with another speedy time of 19:38 (45.84km/h).
