She’s now a three-time national time trial champion, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Cycling Canada has once again named Paula Findlay (pictured above at T100 San Francisco) to the team that will represent Canada at the upcoming UCI World Championships in Zurich.

Findlay’s 29.9 km individual time trial event takes place on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. That’s six days before the T100 Ibiza race, which she’s slated to race as well. The TT course is a point-to-point effort from Gossau to Zurich and includes 327 m of elevation gain.
Last year Findlay finished 25th at the world championships in Glasgow, Scotland in just her third time trial race. As she notes in the Instagram post above, she was sick for that event.
“I will say that it was one of my most favorite sporting experiences ever,” she said after the race. “From the professional mechanics, team car, radio, crazy crowds, and riding at the edge of my physical limit for 36km, I truly loved all of it. I held my best power ever over the distance, but was bleeding so much time in corners and technical sections. For my 3rd TT ever, I can definitely say that I learned a ton, and genuinely hope I can do more, because I think my improvement curve could be good with some specific position and technical work. These women are very, very good and it was cool to see and learn from them up close.”
Findlay captured her third consecutive national time trial championship earlier this year during a crazy weekend that saw her get her bike just hours before the time trial. She then took the Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant title a couple of days later.
