Strong cold, east winds certainly did not break the spirits of tonight's seventeen CycleFit Chicks 10km time trialists - In fact one new rider, Danielle Krauel, added a little extra distance, missing the turn around and proceeding to the traffic light! As well, somehow six women even managed to improve upon their previous season-series best tonight! Susie Mattson posted the biggest improvement - upping her cube speed by a huge 28.68% from her ride on 2012-Apr-16. Note that we measure improvement in terms of the cube-speed, since the power used to drive a bicycle increases in accordance with the cube of the speed - two powers for air resistance and one power for rolling resistance. Sally O'Brien was the second most improved, by 23.53%, all the more incredible since this was on a Hybrid bicycle, with an upright position which must have been extremely difficult to keep moving on the outward leg. Janique Gagnon was the third most improved at an impressive 19.55%. Lyse Patenaude's cube-speed increase of 11.57% over her previous CFCTT 2012 best is excellent and noteworthy since she had ridden three CFCTTs previously this year. The other two improvers were monotonically non-decreasing Heather Crysdale with a 3.75% improvement and recumbent triker Thuy Do (up 2.73%) - Maybe Thuy's low position allowed her to slip under some of the wind! The rest of us were slower than our 2012 CFCTT bests. Celia McInnis, who left first so as to be back to help Jim at the finish line, took about 10 minutes for the first half of the course. She finished fastest in 18:38 but was the most "unimproved". Suzanne Pond (18:40) was just 2 seconds slower for second place and Caitlin Crooks (18:58) was third fastest. Celia and Caitlin only did about 90% of their previous 2012 CFCTT best, whereas Suzanne, remarkable for her consistency, managed more than 99%.
