New York City Triathlon - Triathlon

It was great to swim with the current.

It's a 400+ meter run to transition with your wetsuit still on your legs. It got hot quickly!

The highway was very rough. My Garmin also had the course at 25.75 miles long. And my power meter decided not to work the day before so I didn't have it for the race either. That was quite a frustration for me.

The first six guys came into T2 within 8 seconds of each other. Seems like a red flag to me. Apparently I missed the train/peloton for this race.

It was quick but people were still going out on the bike when I came in so it was a big congested and hard to get to my rack. I also forgot to take my Garmin off my bike and put it back on my wrist.

Remember my Garmin.

I ran pretty well. I didn't have my watch for pacing, so I went entirely from feel and tried to pace myself. Central Park definitely has some tough hills, but overall I was pleased with my run. I think I could have caught one more person as I was closing on him in the last 1.5 miles but his friend jumped in next to him and paced him out for a while. Tsk tsk...

Run faster.

This was a fantastically run event. There were thousands of volunteers who were great through the entire event. I can't thank them enough for all they did over the course of the weekend. Everything was timely and smoothly run. It was a very cool experience to swim in the Hudson and bike on the Henry Hudson Parkway. It was a bucket list race for me and I'm glad I did it once.
