We’ve already reviewed the half marathon and 5K results…now on to the cycling TT!
Cycling TT
Just like most multisport courses out there, ours wasn’t exactly 40K either! The finish line, just short of 40K, was chosen because it allowed for a safe yet painful hill-top sprint finish. The event was super interesting to follow as so many different approaches were taken. Some had full TT bikes/ set ups and went hard, while others had a less competitive bike and spun fairly easy. Either way we had a great level of participation, and here’s how everybody stacked up:
Top 5 Women OA:
Jessica threw down a massive winning time with Emily strong in 2nd. Bonus points for Vicky finishing 3rd OA despite using a road bike and racing just minutes post- 5K and half marathon!
(1) Jessica Kupfer – 1:04:04
(2) Emily Hunter – 1:11:24
(3) Vicky Siemon- 1:13:08
(4) Candice Smith – 1:13:26
(5) Michelle Lennox- 1:14:41
Top 5 Men OA:
Matt Harrop showed his winter of hard work is paying off big time with a massive win, proving he’s gone next level as a rider! Luke and Mark were strong in 2nd and 3rd OA.

Congrats to everybody who got out and got this done. Whether you crushed it, or just went for a nice spin in the country side, it was great seeing so many teammates get out of their comfort zone and complete this component of the SVEC!
