Has anyone ridden Harriman yet this year? I'm heading up next weekend to train and am curious about the road conditions and if they're all open. I know that Tiorati Brook Rd has construction but haven't heard anything else.

Did you get a chance to ride?  I'm doing the NYTC tri there on 5/20.  Is Tiorati open?  I don't think it's part of this year's course.

I live on the boarder of HSP and ride Harriman a few times a week...

All roads are good to ride on and the conditions are the same as last year!  There is no construction on Tiaroti Brook Rd.

Enjoy the training!!

Ummm... I wasn't, but I might be now.

The funny thing is, my buddy, who hates hills and hates cold water picked this race for us to do. I don't particularly mind either one, but I was a little surprised that he woudl choose it. But I said to him a couple of weeks ago, "YOu know there are a bunch of hills and the water's going to be really cold, right?" and he practically turned green. I had figured that he picked it as a way of confronting his limiters, but I think he was just ill-informed.

I bought my neoprene cap. Bring on the 51-degree water! Lucky it's only a 500y swim.
