August 07, 2019 (Lima, Peru) – Laurie Jussaume won her second medal of the Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru, on Wednesday, finishing third in the 18.5 kilometre women’s Individual Time Trial with a time of 26:27.15. American Chloe Dygart took the top spot with a time of 23:36.51, with Teniel Campbell of Trinidad and Tobago taking silver. Canada’s other entrant in the event, Miriam Brouwer, finished fifth, 7.26 seconds behind Jussaume.

“With the start delayed, we had to adjust a little bit,” said Jussaume, “but I think I was ready for the start, so I’m pretty happy. I executed my ride well. It was a pretty fast course, flat but with some wind. It was a good time for me, I had good power. My plan was to conserve on the way out to the turnaround and then still have some energy to hit the little hill on the way back pretty hard, then empty myself for the last 3K after the hill. I managed my energy well, so when I got to the line I was empty.”

Competition continues tomorrow with BMX Supercross races on August 8-9, road on August 10 and BMX Freestyle on August 11. For a complete list of schedules and results, click here.
