Is there really an outdoor, open water, tri at Coney Island on November 10th? Call me a wimp, but I think I'll have to pass on this one, brrrrr.

For me, it would be less about the swim, which would be wetsuit legal, than the bike and run. I've done a couple of early spring races in NYC and riding and running while wet in chilly, and maybe damp, conditions just sucks. It takes hours to warm up afterwards.

You never know, there could be a freek snowstorm that weekend, or a heat wave making temps 70s!

Typical NYC weather. :-)


Looks like fun though.

The event has apparently been postponed until next year. It will run in late October instead of November.

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.
