Canadian National TT Results

Post by Rolf »

Casually scanning the list of yesterday's fight to wear the Canadian TT jersey and Holy Cows! there are some familiar names darned high up these lists:

Anika: 3rd place, Women's elite
Jay: top-10, U23; top 30, Men's elite
Dylan C.: top 30, Men's elite

Some other notable Victorian achievements:
Rob Britton: 4th place, Men's elite
Curtis Dearden: 9th place, Men's elite

These are incredible, world-class performances by athletes we've had the privilege to ride alongside. Huge congrats to each of them!

(I don't know how anyone can hold 42-45 km/h for an hour. :shock: Insane.)

They just pedal faster.

Or as Svein Tuft explained to Tony Z on how to do a good TT:
First you get your cadence up to about 100 rpm. Maintain that cadence while continually shifting into harder gears until you are going the speed you want to go.
(The quote is 2nd hand and paraphrased, I may have gotten it somewhat wrong)
compete: 1620, from Fr. compéter "be in rivalry with"
