New York Tri/Bi-athlon Series #2 - Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Wasn't able to get in the water for a swim warm up, so it took a couple of hundred yards to get in a groove, but then I felt pretty good. Felt especially strong after the turn around. Time includes run of a couple hundred yards from the water to transition. Overall a good swim.

Swim warm up

Too slow! Took too much time getting wetsuit off

I was in the last swim wave, so there was a fair amount of traffic to negotiate for the first few miles which made it a little hard to pass. On the long fast descent I was a chicken as usual, so I got out of aero and on the brakes too much, but I can't just let myself go.

I did very well on the long climb, and passed a lot of people. The last 5 miles has some nice fast descents that are not too steep so I did really well there. Very good ride.

Bike computer had distance at 15 miles, which I think is more accurate than the advertised distance of 16 miles.

Let loose on the big descent.

Had a little trouble getting my shoes on.

Legs felt great getting off the bike. Was able to pick up the pace after the turn around, but I should have gone faster on the first half.

Garmin says 2.8 miles for the second year in a row so I think the run course is also a little shorter than advertised. This pace would be faster than my open 5K PR pace which is highly unlikely.



Come out faster

Walking, chatting and drinking a lot of water.


I could push myself harder.


I always enjoy this race. Well run, challenging course, good traffic control, and a pretty venue.
