"Coming to race in Middlebury is a real homecoming for me. My family lives just down the road and Quassy Park was the site of my second ever triathlon back in 2003. To return to race in the area at what in the inaugural year of what already a world-class event is something I have been looking forward to since the Rev3 race was announced. It will be the first time that several of my family members have ever seen me race, including my one year old nephew Hank. Thank you to everyone at Rev3 for organizing what is sure to be one of the premier races in not only the Northeast, but the entire US, for years to come."

Bio

Jordan Rapp was born on July 28th, 1980. Three weeks later, he went for his first open water swim (sort of) in the waters of Lost Lake in Brewster, NY. Eighteen years later, he took first strokes of a different kind - in a rowing shell - on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie. After a high school career focused on squash and lacrosse, he began training for endurance athletics on a Concept II ergometer in the winter of 1998/99. Millions of meters and millions of strokes later, he was injured for the first time in his rowing career while training to make the U.S. National Team. And so, in April of 2003, he clipped a pair of aerobars onto his road bike, bought a pair of race wheels with the first tax return of his post-graduate career, and never looked back except to occasionally take a peek at the competition.
