MIVA held the 2^nd  interclub challenge last night and it was epic!  Weather was near perfect for the 20K event on Nanaimo River Road.  However sometimes stuff (shit) just happens and you do your best to deal with it.  Our timing system had a glitch last night so we could not give any results after the race.  😞  But have no fear Patrick had done some major sleuthing in strava and other methods to tabulate the results of lastnight.  Thanks Patrick!  

For the men PB's all around - James Sage rocked the 20K in 28:22 followed quickly by Sean Lunny in 29:30 and Stephen Mohan in 31:26

For the women – Janna Gillick dominated with 31:14 , in 2nd with a PB for Lorrie Baildham in 33:11 and in 3^rd  by Angelina Landry making her debut in the TT with a very FAST 33:38
