Lynn Hamel the theGreenRoomGroup.com and 2nd claim Kent Valley RC was first woman and National Champion in 02:59.6 in 54th place, completing her excellent season which included winning the women’s BBAR, and her bronze medal in the National Individual Pursuit.

A full report of the event is available on the CTT website.

Congratulations to Lynn Hamel on her winning the Bronze medal in the 3000 mtrs pursuit at the Nation Track Championships at Manchester on the 20th September 2008 with a time of 3:55:761. From the report on the British Cycling website it sounds to have been an exciting ride off for the bronze medal:

The bronze medal ride off was a very close affair, with Hamel going off very quickly, but being pegged back by Sadler-Andrews. Both were well inside their qualifying times at every time check. It wasn’t until the final kilometre that Hamel dragged herself into a winning position as Sadler-Andrews began to fade, but even at the very end the gap was coming back down again, reflecting a very close hard-fought race. Hamel went to win by just under 2 seconds.
