Wow, despite the high air pressure, 17 people bettered or tied their previous 15km database best. Nine of these are fairly inexperienced with time trials, so database improvements are expected even when the conditions are sub-optimal, but several of the other nine improvers have years of experience! Congratulations especially to Patrick Pelda (19:59) for taking 26 seconds off to go below 20 minutes for the first time! In terms of season-series improvements, 32 people bettered or tied their previous 15km 2013 OTT best. The most "unimproved" in both of these regards was Celia McInnis - but she probably has the most colourful excuse of anyone else out there as this picture of her "Hell Climb" fun yesterday shows!
