Jack was a founding member of the Junior team in our first season last Summer. With several seasons of running and swimming under his belt, as well as being a regular on local group rides, he had a great foundation. After a Winter of Zwifting and a second season with the T3 Junior Team, he came into the 2021 race season even stronger. At both of his race appearances, the July and August VT Sun series, Jack won his age group in well rounded fashion." - Coach Tim Russell

A:   History

A:   2 seasons in the T3 junior program with coach Tim Russell

A:   Started at age 16 and I started practicing over the summer because there were no other sports camps. It ended up growing on me and it combined all the sports I liked into one fun race. Since the races are long and it is very technical, I have a lot of room to improve my times in every part.

A:   Varsity swimming, varsity cross country running, road biking, mountain biking

A:   Get my Time under a 1:10:00 at the Vermont sun race, compete at junior nationals in 2022.

A:   To win a race overall and to be able to race at Olympic distances

A:   Spend time practicing mounts and dismounts every time you get off the bike. It saves a lot of time if it becomes a habit. Don’t be afraid to get out front at the start of the Swim.

A:  Go to a college where I can get a Masters in business or finance in 5 years

A:   “Cover the move on bike” Each person on your ride has a secret number that determines the order of who attacks first. You make an attack once it is your turn and everyone else has to try and stay with you for 30 seconds. It is great race training and helps you prepare for pushing hard during a long ride.

A:   I have always liked swimming, biking, and running individually for a long time and never thought of even doing a triathlon until very recently. This team has given me tons of new opportunities to meet new people and try something I had never done before. I and truly grateful and thank you once again for choosing me as athlete of the month.
