Lake Mohawk NJ is the location,
Did my only sprint at age 57. I love to bike so I trained hardest on the bike and only marginally swimming and running. Come to find out you use a different set of muscles, swimming and running. Biking doesn't challenge those muscle groups, so train hardest swimming and running. I also thought I would run out of steam if I pushed too hard on any leg of the race. Not so. Give each section 100%. Be happy to finish strong. I will try again in two years at age 67.
Good Luck
