NYC Triathlon Race Report - I want to start out with a couple thanks.  First a big thanks to Gear West for getting my bike back into perfect form.  After my bike crash I had some damage to the cockpit/aero bar on my bike and needed a new one.  Changing this out involved rewiring my brakes and shifters which is not a small task!  My bike was back in perfect form just before NYC, thanks guys!  A second thanks goes to my college friend Emma for letting Patrick and I crash/move in to her place in NYC.  Her apartment was only about a mile from the start of the race which was incredibly convenient.  Thank you Emma!

I’m going to try changing up my race reporting we’ll see how it goes.  Here’s my thoughts on the race:

Swim

* 5:50 am start time made for an early morning but nice to beat the heat as much as possible! ...

 

* Dive start – I loved this!  You don’t have to be good at running/dolphin diving in the water.
* Pulled my cap a little too far over my goggles and couldn’t see to well, oops, lesson #1.
* Followed some feet in front of me while I tried to fix my goggles.
* The person I was following cut hard out towards the middle of the river, I stayed near shore.  She disappeared quickly and I finally realized, the current is much better away from shore , lesson #2.
* Ugh, of all things I made this big mistake on the swim, lost about 30 seconds here, 3 girls ahead of me....READ MORE
