New world record for Sue!

[SimonD]

Hot off the press, Sue Powell has just won the national 3km pursuit title in a new world record for her class!

Well done Sue

I love Cycling Australia.

1. As an athlete with a disability you don't get a jersey for winning a national title.
2. You can see all the results for the whole event with juniors and everybody except for Athletes with disabilities.

Yes Sue is amazing ,she trains so hard and is also the first to put up her hand to help out with cycling .Sue is on the VCC committee plus i think has maybe marshalled more times than i can remember for a few cycle clubs .I for one am so proud of you Sue ,she doesn't know the the phrase " i can't do it " .As a masters 3 she just gets better with age.

Thanks guys :-)
Yep managed to temper my enthusiasm for the start to NOT go out at 500m pace for a change and put together a decent race. My new classification is C4 and I did a 4:09. something?? which was about 3 sec. of the old (LC2) mark. So its a little confusing but we think its a new WR and I went through the drug testing etc so it can be ratified if it is.

The tandem girls (Brandie a viking, and Kerry from CCC) did an awesome PB by almost 9 sec. Only their second pursuit together and it was good enough for the silver medal - they will only get better.

I think Dan and Alex came 1st and 3rd in the elite mens sprint and catherine is in the semi's tomorrow so ACT doing pretty well. Some of the scratch races on tonight but I won't be out there to watch - we have the tt's tomorrow.

[Startrek]

Good luck tomorrow Sue ,is that Kerry Knowler riding with Brandie ?

[Vanessa]

Wow Sue - you obviously have masters the pursuit :) Well done, so definitely deserve it!

Yep it's our KK with Brandie in the tandem.

[Chris]

put together a decent race.

Nice bit of understatement there. As everyone said we are very proud of you.

Well done on the 500m Sue. Sub 40 can't be too far away.

Fantastic to see they have now put results up.

Would have been good to see it the day of the event.
