Nautica New York City Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

MORE OWS practice! (I said this last year and didn't do it, so I'm not sure why i thought I'd have a different result.)

Couldn't believe this was so long, I was changing shoes (toe clips) but it sure didn't feel like 8 minutes, but I guess the 1/4 mile run to transition really adds up.

Nothing

On the last portion of the race coming into transition I got behind a very slow girl and they don't let you pass on this stretch of road. I should have pushed past her at the turnout off the hwy. but was trying to save my legs -she was creeping along so slow, probably could ave saved a few minutes had I managed to get in front of her -

Not to much to report here till I start riding w/ bike shoes and cliless pedals -this is easy, off the bike and go

nothing

I realized last year I did alot of small races in Central Park throughout the season, since I was hurt late in the season, I thoght I was overtraining, so this year I decided to cut out the extra NYRR races and just focus on the tri's. this was not a good decision, the park felt tough, much more than last year. I had to walk a few times and that never happened last year. by not doing the races much of my running was done indoors or on flat east river side roads. My hill work sucked! I need to work on that before October

More CP races and outdoor hills

Walked around w/ the family and went to the massage booth this year -that was great. kept re-counting my jelly fish story -lots of people were stung -some girl had to be taken away in an ambulance she was stung so many times


jelly fish, heat, humidity, lack of training in outdoor environment


I really do love this race -it was my first tri last year and i think I will alwyas come back every year. I was hoping for sub 3:00 today, but it was not meant to be, I am really disappointed, but it's my own fault - I trained for this like my B race and the results show this. I am a little worried I may not be prepared for my HIM in October. I think I'll need to get some advice about my training schedule between now and then -I was hoping a good outcome here would give me confidence going into Oct., unfortunately it has shaken my confidence a bit. I'm being a little hard on myself, considering the circumstances I did OK, but I'll be back next year and as long as it takes to get that sub 3:00 time.
