2009 Low-Key Hillclimbs Week 6 Results: Bohlman-Norton-Kittridge-Quickert-On Orbit-Bohlman 07 Nov 2009 |
Scott Frake slays On Orbit Lane (Adam Tow) |
Thanks to James Porter for his excellent handling of results this week! Your humble webmaster, away in Colorado this weekend, had only to plug James's excellent spreadsheets into the scoring scripts and everything ran seamlessly. Here's James' report from the scene:
Men's Non Hybrid Median Time was approximately 34:36, a smoking fast time. There were 73 male non hybrid competitors and 5 female non hybrid competitors. The women's median time was a very fast 45:00. Bill Bushnell with the fastest time of course was in the Hyrbid category where his combination of muscle and motor pumped out over 600 watts to crush the climb in 21 minutes.
Congratulations to Scott Frake (who claims he is not in shape and would have not won had Eric Balfus not broke his chain) for taking over my out of shape dads category for his 1st place and only unassisted time under 27 minutes. Christy Cowley dominated the women's field with a blistering time of 37:06.
Especially noteworthy was 2009 leading junior Andre Swart, who not only finished this brutal climb but for the second time in a row exceeded 100 points. Andre is an essential lock in the overall junior rankings this year. Andre is the only identified junior to have ever finished Bohlman-On Orbit in the Low-Key series.
Further of note is François Cosquer flying in from Verneuil sur Seine France just to do the Low-Key Bohlman. Okay, so he was here on business. But we are happy to see Low-Keys go intercontinental!
Thanks to coordinator James Porter, with help from Patt Baenen, Michael Barnes, Brenda Brunner, Bill Bushnell, Stephen Chapel, Phil Dubach, Stephen Fong, Clark Foy, Christine Holmes, Howard Kveck, Justin Lucke, Ingrid McCarty, Pat Parseghian, Peter Tapscott, and Adam Tow for making today's climb possible!median time = 21:06
