Racing in NY
It was a big day for triathlon in New York. The NYC Triathlon and Ironman USA were both today. Each of the last four years, I raced in one of those events; 2005 (my very first triathlon) and 2006 in NYC and 2007 and 2008 in Lake Placid. I miss it this year, especially being in Lake Placid for the Ironman. I had such a great time there both years – the town is an awesome host for the race and I had a blast racing. Hopefully Canada will be a similar experience five weeks from today!
Congrats to Jamie, Terry, Sebastian, David and Love of Shoes at NYC and Jon, Todd, Mike and Jim at IMLP!
