LIMA, Peru — Laurie Jussaume earned a bronze medal in the women’s individual road cycling time trial Wednesday at the Pan American Games.
Jussaume of Contrecoeur, Que., finished third with a time of 23 minutes 27,15 seconds, behind American Chloe Dygert and Teniel Campbell of Trinidad and Tobago ."My plan was to conserve a little bit on the way there, get to the turn around and still have some energy to hit the little hill on the way back pretty hard and then just empty myself for the last three kilometres after the hill," Jussaume said of her strategy. "I think I managed my energy pretty well.
It was Canada’s first road cycling medal and fifth cycling medal overall. Canada had already picked up for track medals , with Jussaume helping Canada win silver in the team pursuit."They hugged me after the finish. They’re all here, so we’re celebrating all together," Jussaume said. "It’s really fun because every time one of us wins, it’s like we all win. It’s a great feeling.
Lindsey Butterworth of North Vancouver, B.C., was fifth in the women’s 800 metres. Toronto’s Crystal Emmanuel was seventh in the women’s 100.
