MEET our T3 June ATHLETE of the MONTH, Jack Bordeau!

 Jack was a member of the T3 Junior team inaugural season in 2020. During cross country season that Fall, he unexpectedly had a collapsed lung, for which he was hospitalized. After several months of cautious rehab and doctor visits, he joined his track team this Spring and recently set a personal best in the mile, running 4:57. He is a returning T3 Junior, and always brings his A-game to practices, pushing his teammates to be their very best.


Q:  What is your name and where do you live?

A:   My name is Jack Bordeau and I live in Queensbury, NY.


Q:  What is your age?

A:   I am 17 years old.


Q:  What school do you attend?

A:   I go to Glens Falls High School.


Q:  What is your favorite subject in school?

A:   My favorite subject in school is Science. I specifically like natural science and physical science.


Q:  How long have you been coached by T3 Coaching?

A:   I have been with T3 junior for just under a year with Coach Russell.


Q:  How did you come to enjoy triathlon and at what age did you start participating?

A:   I started doing triathlon last year when I was 16 and I found out about it because Coach Crossman is my swim coach. It sounded like it would be a fun thing to do over the summer and a great way to stay in shape.


Q:  What other sports do you participate in?

A:   For Glens Falls I run track, cross country, and swim.


Q:  What are your triathlon goals for this season?

A:   My goals for this season are
1. Compete in some actual triathlon races this summer
2. Go to junior nationals
3. Run a sub 16 5k


Q:  What is your long-term goal in the sport of mtn. biking/triathlon?

A:   I want to continue with triathlons and eventually race an Ironman. I think it’s one of the hardest athletic contests I could ever do and I think it would be a great challenge. I can see myself continuing to do triathlons later in life as well to stay in shape and to stay active.


Q:  What advice would you give to your peers who might be interested in doing a triathlon?

A:   I would just say come to a practice, try it out. The practices that Coach Tim runs are always fun and you feel great going home from them knowing you had a great workout with a great group of people. Coming into triathlons I was not a great biker, but I've gotten a lot better over time. I would tell people that just because you aren’t great at one skill you shouldn't let it hold you back from trying triathlons out.


Q:  What are your college plans?

A:    I plan to go to college and major in a type of engineering. I want to continue sports in college at whatever level that might be. Right now I’m thinking about running in college, but I’m not positive.


Q:  Please list your favorite workout:

A:   My favorite workout is on the bikes because it is something different then what I’m used to. My favorite one is working with chase packs. At Saratoga Battlefield there is a middle section that we will do chase packs on. I love doing this workout because you can see how close you are to overtaking the person in front of you which drives you to push harder while you know there are people behind you pushing to catch up. I think it creates a super competitive environment that makes a great training atmosphere that pushes everyone.


Q:  Any thoughts you want to share?

A:   I just want to say thank you to all of the coaches because T3 junior has opened up triathlons to me and lots of other teens too. I think it’s awesome to be able to experience triathlons from a younger age when most people start doing them later in life
