Perfect temps and zero wind made for a fast (and awesome) final time trial on Nanaimo River Road. This 15k course has 4 course records (one for each category).  THREE WERE BROKEN TONIGHT!

First up, Janna Gillick took down the course record in 23:09 (prev 23:21) to clinch the series championship as well, not a bad night.  Lorrie Baildham's injury is long gone as she flew at a 36.1 avg speed for second, followed by series runner up Kiyomi Schulz @ 25:24.

In the mens race Don Gillmore rode a fast 20:41 to clinch his BAR (Best All-Around Rider) award zipping along at 43.5km/hr.  Patrick Burnham slammed home a PB in 22:31, attaining his season goal of averaging 40km/hr over this hilly course.  Justin Mark showed up late (its his birthday we will let it slide!) and still managed to place third with a 22:36, just 9 seconds ahead of Joel Lutz.

The youth female course record was set tonight by the ever improving Meghan Gillmore with a 28:05 (prev 28:46).  Her first 15k race this year was in 31:51, showing a remarkable improvement.

The youth male record also was set tonight by her brother Ian Gillmore riding to a 28:42 finish, the former record was held by Youth Male points leader Aiden Hare @ 29:38.  I'm already looking forward to seeing these two raise the bar even more next season.
