MIVA 20k TT - May 30, 2013
Rain threatened Nanaimo all day, with an all out downpour in some areas even, but the TT course held if off for the entire race thankfully. Normally heavy rains have the numbers quite low, but this week we still had 10 racers show up to race the 20k! In the past, there would be 1-2 people show up.
Reagan Lovig was smoking fast tonight, fresh off a 14th overall finish at the Shawnigan Triathlon just 5 days prior, winning the overall TT with an average speed of 36.5km/hr on the hilly course. Single Speeder Patrick Burnham was flying tonight shaving a full minute+ off his 20k time just 3 weeks ago. Also improving on their previous 20k best were Mike Gill (over a minute off!), Jason Hare, and Jennifer Gordon. Well done!
Special kudos to the dedicated young Aiden Hare. After hitting the 10k turnaround in 24 minutes, he was on pace to break his previous best time until a mechanical left him with greasy hands and a few extra minutes. Good on him for getting it fixed and hammering across the line with a smile on his face still!
