I was training all year and 3 days before my first sprint I felt in the bike (last july) and broke my left arm y 2 parts. I feel x but now I starting again to training. I going for the same sprint next season and NY TRIATHLON too. i hope you havre tips for training. i train to find a couch but is to expensive.

NYC Tri is a tough bike course. Way more hills than you would expect.
Practice climbing hills on your bike.

I'm in, but I realized that the race is the same day as visiting day at my kids camp... I'll be missing the race for the second year in a row-- the first time that's happened since I started doing tris.

I'll still be manning my usual tour guide postion the day before, though, so I'll hopefully be able to do it next year. Hope to see some BT-ers at bike check-in.

Had to defer until 2016.
I just couldn't get my fitness where I wanted it.

Holy crap!
They always manage to hold this race on the hottest, most humid day of the year, but that must have been unreal. How'd eveyrone do? I was melting into a puddle just conducting transition tours on Saturday. I can't imagine what 72nd street must have been like for the later waves.

First time doing a tri and the heat definitely took a toll. Race started a bit late so the men didn't have much current help and swimming into a dead fish was a first! The bike was great, one flat cost me some time but really the run did me in. The 2 bottles of gatorade and a bottle of water on the bike still wasn't enough. By the time the run came there was nothing but muscle spasms and pain.

Due to the heat they actually cut the race short for safety concerns. Unfortunately I was one of them so technically only did about 5 miles of the run course. Afterwards I spoke with one of the volunteers and they were later even cutting it down to a 1 mile run.

Overall as a first timer this was an amazing race and completely got me hooked on triathlons. I was just disappointed that I started the swim so late and couldn't do the entire 10k before cutoff and therefore didn't get an overall standing. More motivation for next year though!!!
