Diane Schubert Places First for Age Group in Tobay Triathlon

Diane Schubert of New Hyde Park recently took her talents to Oyster Bay for the Runner’s Edge TOBAY Triathlon and Tri-Relay presented by Engel Burman where she placed second in the 65-69 female age group.

On an overcast morning with periods of rain, more than 350 competitors tested their strength and endurance on the Long Island course which was managed by the Greater Long Island Road Running Club. The competition included a ½ mile swim in Oyster Bay Harbor, a 12.3K hilly bike ride through Oyster Bay and Oyster Bay Cove, and a 5K run past Mill Neck and Brookville.

Schubert, 58, completed the triathlon in 1:39:09, earning a trophy in the 65-69 female age division, which consisted of 5 total athletes. Full results from the triathlon can be viewed here.

“We were thrilled to help sponsor this year’s TOBAY Triathlon and Tri-Relay and support the greater athletic community,” said Scott Burman, Principal at Engel Burman and President of EB Construction, a leading Long Island real estate development company. “Inspired is an understatement for how it felt to watch hundreds of individuals cross the finish line and we look forward to next year’s event.”

“All of us at Runner’s Edge would like to send a big congratulations to Diane Schubert on her second-place finish in the 65-69 female age category. We’re so appreciative of our local running, biking, and swimming community and the TOBAY Triathlon and Tri-Relay is our chance to give back to them,” said Bob Cook, Owner of Runner’s Edge, a family owned and operated running store that served as the main sponsor.
