202 Ann
190 Grant (Trike)
156 Lisa
Considering the weather we have been having this year, you could say it was reasonably kind to us on Sunday. There was wind, but it wasn't as strong or as soul-destroying as last year. It rained somewhere on the course and with varying levels of heaviness for best part of seven hours, although as we seemed to keep drying out again it never really felt too cold. The afternoon was more pleasant, being overcast and dry, but it did tip it down while we were in the HQ waiting for the prize presentation.
Grant missed the northen turn back on to the A11 and managed to visit Bury St Edmunds, so his distance could well have some drastic revision when the final result comes out. But whatever they give him, he will certainly retain the VTTA award for first trike in the event. It looks as though he could well have set Surrey/Sussex and National VTTA records for a 71 yr-old on a trike to boot.
Ann's rough calculation at the HQ was that we had added 4 miles to last year's Women's team record of 570 miles, but the record is 573.731 and our provisional total (excluding the fractions) comes to 574, so it will be tight.
The Phoenix were awarded the VTTA team medals (the VTTA National Championship was incorporated in the event).
156 is my lowest ever - having got to the finishing circuit with only 130 on the clock, which gives an answer to the ongoing debate of "what is the lowest mileage that needs to be done to finish a 12?" Considering that Sunday's ride is my 5th highest week's mileage this year, I guess I should be satisfied.
Jake's ride gives her the 12 hour trophy, and I don't think it's going to be taken away from her now. Grant is currently leading the Club Championship, as the only member to have completed the distances, yet, and the 100 & 12 are both on trike!
