The Hudson Valley Triathlon Club

The Hudson Valley Triathlon Club (HVTC) held its first race of the season on Wednesday night at the Kenneth Wilson Campground in Mt. Tremper.

The overcast skies and rain didn’t deter the 31 athletes who took part in the 400 yard swim, 12 mile bike, and 2 mile run.

The water in Upper Pond on Wednesday was in the mid-sixties. One swimmer commented happily that the kelp fields hadn’t grown in yet.

Club member, Scott Reynolds, had his first open-water swim.

There were several competitors racing in their first triathlon-Jim Rowe, Carlos Osuna, Laura Wong-Pan, Tom & Joann Andryshak, Devon Jameson, and Cynthia Benedict raced with the club for the first time.

Quick time in the water went to Art Boyko with 4:09. First female out of the water was Mary DeNitto at 6:19.

The bike course circumvents the park, mostly on Wittenburg Road. Mike Bakker had the best bike time at 34:03:00.  Michele Yasson was the fastest female rider with a time of 45:23:00.

The final leg, a 2 mile out and back in the park, was won by Bruce Cadenhead, who was also the overall winner of the race.

Cadenhead’s son waited for him about 200 yards from the finish. When Cadenhead came by he yelled to his son “let’s race” and they both took off.  Overall time 0:50:44.

Michele Yasson was the female winner with a time of 1:08:00.

Yasson and Cadenhead also set new age-group records while winning the top slot in Wednesday night's race.  

Complete results can be seen HERE.

David Ness was on hand after the race for some body work. Overlook Mountain Bikes tent and did some last minute bike tune-ups.

Leslie Fierberg, Dave Haze, Katie Thompson, Sue Russell, Jeni Wrightson, Everett, Rachel Miller Loftus, Tom Loftus, Darren Wells, Ian Borrero, Tracy Little, Tom Tauscher, Tommy Struzzieri, and Marcy Duffy volunteered.

The next race will take place on July 9 – start time 5:45.
