Record for Rachael Elliott in the women’s and fastest to Matthew Smith in the VTTA East Anglia Open 30 mile time trial
Result – VTTA East Anglia Open 30
Provisional results of the 30 mile time trial run by the VTTA East Anglia and incorporating the Leo 30. The Leo 30 has one of the best histories in 30 mile time trialling – in fact of all time trialling when you look at the list of winners on the magnificent shield.
Of note are the fact that this event today produced 4 Competition Records – firstly the Women’s 30 record was broken by Rachael Elliott (Newbury RC) and now stands at 1:03:29 (previously Jill Reames was at 1:05:05).
At the same time, Women’s Team record fell to the Chelmer CC, with Mary Bower (1:08:03), Ann Shuttleworth (1:11:21) and Jo Butcher (1:13:49) combining to total 3:33:13, taking 1:16 of the old record dating back to 1981 of the St Neots CC.
Later in the event Team Velovelocity.co.uk broke the men’s Team record twice in the space of a couple of minutes, with early starter Paul Jay (1:01:24) combining with Daniel Bloy (58:48) and Dave Green (1:0:21) to total 3:0:33, removing 2:36 from the old record of the GS Metro back in 1996.
A few minutes later event winner Matt Smith recorded the 3rd fastest 30 in history with a 56:49 to kick Paul Jay out and create a newer record of 2:55:58. Matt’s time is only bettered by Matt Bottrill’s time of 56:15 done last year, and Michael Hutchinsons Comp Record of 55:39 done in this event in 2011.
An amazing 10 riders broke the hour for 30 miles in this single event – adding a further 9 to the only 14 others who have previously done the same feat – only Rob Pears from this 10 had done it before. 7 of that 14 were in the Leo 30 in previous years, including the first ever sub hour riders in 1991.
The top 3 women’s times also feature very highly in the all time lists – as well as Rachael’s time, Sue Triplow stormed in with a 1:07:21, placing her 4th in the all time list, and Mary Bower did 1:08:03 to put her 7th in the list.
On top of all that, there were lots of very happy faces around the result board with many National and Group VTTA age standard records and PB’s galore. A stunning debut for this new version of the E2/30 course.
