MIVA 20k TT 7/23/2015 Results & Recap

It was a perfect night for racing tonight, 23 degrees, no wind, and almost no cars on the road (except for the shirtless guy on the scooter). RESULTS HERE! OBB Series Standings HERE! 20k Course Records HERE !

MIVA welcomed its newest member (signed up at 3pm today) Joel Deschiffart to the time trials tonight.  Making the most of his offseason from running (really really fast), he's here to make the last couple TTs then a hill climb series assault.  Never having raced a TT IN HIS LIFE, he guessed 'about a 36 minute 20k'.  Then raced a 31:32, good for 4th overall!

COURSE RECORDS BROKEN: 1 Youth Female: Meghan Gillmore

PERSONAL BESTS: 12 Joel Lutz Simon Weber Matthys Redelinghuys Lee Zavarise Ian Drown Murray Walters Fred Rockwell Kiyomi Schulz Anita Gillmore Meghan Gillmore Tamara Zavarise Sandy Przada

Don Gillmore rode his seasons best 20k in 27:45 (43.2km/hr avg), followed by Joel Lutz' PB (30:47) and Patrick Burnham (31:09).  In the Female Category Janna Gillick rode a fast 31:43 just seconds off a PB, followed by Lorrie Baildham (33:47) on the injury comeback trail, then Kiyomi Schulz (34:46) with her PB!

In the youth categories, Meghan Gillmore SHATTERED the course record with a 36:26 (2 minutes 43 seconds knocked off tonight)!  Abigail Hare rode strong and held her season lead, fresh off last nights Hub City Tri Club race where she clinched the Youth Female Series Champion Trophy!  In the male group Ian Gillmore rode his second best time of the year, with Aiden Hare just behind also riding his second best time of the year just 6 seconds off a PB, and retained his lead atop the standings.

Special thanks to Paul Callow for volunteering as turn around marshall tonight.  All set to race, but with a bike locked to the rack and no key, he made the most of his drive out and helped MIVA out, thanks Paul!

The standings to date look like this: MALE Paul Auton 112 Patrick Burnham 95 Nick Kupiak 87

FEMALE Janna Gillick 113 Kiyomi Schulz 108 Lorrie Baildham 62

YOUTH MALE Aiden Hare 126 Ian Gillmore 100

YOUTH FEMALE Abigail Hare 130 Meghan Gillmore 116

Best of luck to MIVA members Paul Auton, Dave Patterson, and Nancy Patterson, who are over in Whistler racing Ironman Canada this Sunday!

Missing tonight was Dave Steen, who unfortunately broke his elbow a few days ago.  Dave's always been a very big supporter of MIVA and cycling in general, heal up quick!

We have ONE FINAL TIME TRIAL to go this year, a 15k next Thursday July 30th, pre reg here!  The following night we'll have a mid season series wrap up social at Oak Bay Bikes (Fri 7/31 @ 7pm). Click here and let us know if you're coming so we can stock the "refreshments" accordingly!
