This was not a particularly easy night with winds of 20-26km/h from the WNW, but with increasing fitness levels, 15 out of the 38 who had ridden an earlier OTT event in 2019 improved upon or equaled their previous season series best and ten improved upon their previous database best. Considerably more impressive though was the fact that there were three new category records tonight! Congratulations to Erika Revesz for 9.39% cube speed improvement in the Veteran D Women's Category, Jazmine Lavergne for 5.02% cube speed improvement in the Cadet Women's Category and to Laury Milette for 0.94% cube speed improvement in the Junior Women's Category. Note that last week, Jazmine had tied Katherine Maine's CAF record from 6 years ago, while Erika managed to take 1 second off of Mary Ajersch's record from 18 years ago. This week they took off 43 seconds and 22 seconds, respectively. Meanwhile Laury Milette took 4 seconds off of Katherine Maine's 4 year old JUF record.
