Laundry and Marchant podium at New York City Triathlon

Jackson Laundry and Kristen Marchant each impress with 3rd place at the prestigious non-drafting, Olympic distance race.

Canada’s Jackson Laundry and Kristen Marchant both earned podium finishes at the prestigious Olympic-distance non-drafting New York City Triathlon over the weekend.

New York City Triathlon always draws an impressive pro field thanks to its world-class venue, strong prize purse and the fact that it is one of few Olympic non-drafting events in the North America. Both Laundry and Marchant have demonstrated their skill at this event in the past, both achieving notable results at the St. Anthony’s Triathlon in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Laundry finished just over a minute behind winner Cameron Dye, a regular contender in Olympic non-drafting events. He clocked 12:11 for the swim, 57:42 for the bike and 32:49 for the run.

Marchant surprised herself with a career-best sub-two hour finish, breaking down as 12:19 for the swim, 1:05:32 for the bike and 36:11 for the swim. Women’s winner Lauren Goss, also a regular contender in these types of races, finished in 1:56:54.
