Records set
at triathlon
YULAN — Men’s and women’s
records were eclipsed and a local triathlete completed
in his 10th triathlon on a beautiful day at Washington
Lake. Eighty-eight triathletes lined up to compete
in the 10th Annual Highland Triathlon sponsored by
the IGA G-Mart of Wurtsboro. The athletes all swam
one half mile in Washington Lake, biked 14.4 miles
through the Town of Highland and ran four miles on
the Eldred-Yulan Road.
Doug Clark, of Morristown, NJ, the
course record holder, blazed the hilly bike course
in new record time and set an overall record of 1:13:43,
almost two minutes faster than his old record. Before
the race, Clark said he comes up every year because
the course is so tough and the people are so friendly.
Sylvie Vitelli, of New York City, by
way of France, took honors in the women’s division.
She demolished the old bike record and set a new course
record in 1:26:10. She will not be able to defend
her new title as she is moving back to France.
Billy Schneider of Barryville was the
only participant to compete in all 10 years of the
races’ existence. Race director Doug Stern credits
Schneider in part for the success of the race. “Bill
helps set up the course and allows me to think of
other things,” said Stern.
This year the Sullivan County Department
of Public Works donated signs for the bike course,
which made it easy for the participants to navigate
their way through the Town of Highland.
Stern wishes to thank the Yulan and
Highland Lakes Fire Departments, the local Constables,
Sheriff’s Department and State Police for making
sure the roads were safe for competition. He also
thanks Dickie and Cheryl Haas and the Colonial Restaurant
for hosting the event.
