[NMCycling] RCTT: Who was Paula HIggins?

[Jennifer Buntz]

With the Record Challenge Time Trial coming up this weekend, some of you
who are newer to the NM/ABQ cycling scene might be wondering who Paula
Higgins.

Paula was many things to the cycling community.  She was active in NMBRA in
its earliest days, together with her husband Jerry Kiuttu.  Paula was my
Landis teammate, along with Carolyn Donnelly.  We rode many AZ and NM races
together, sporting the green and white of team White Mountain.  She won the
NMBRA New Mexico Road Series championship in her division 6 times.

Paula was a time trialist too.  She got the gold medal at the 1997 National
Championship in the Women's Tandem Time Trial event with Carolyn Donnelly.
Carolyn and Paula still hold the National Tandem TT record that they set in
1995.

You can see the wealth of TT records that have been set at our very own
Moriarity course here

I've posted pictures of Paula on the Duke City Wheelmen website, with a bit
more info about her.
