Being too feeble to race, I decided to journey down to New Paltz to watch all the action. Unlike last year, there was a good bit of sun, but it was still quite chilly (almost as cold as last year). I did manage to ride one loop of the course and I am still uncertain after riding it how I did 3 loops last year. I managed to snap a few photos between riding and working the Towpath/Rt. 6 intersection. This is a spectacular venue, the photos only show a very limited part of the course.
Morning View of the Catskills
Transition in the early morning light. What a view.
And they're off. At least it is not still dark out;)
Enjoying the Ride
A STer on the bike

The climb to the Mohonk House
A STer on the run
A pretty cool looking bird. I didn't have my Audubon book with me.

"When I first had the opportunity to compete in triathlon, it was the chicks and their skimpy race clothing that drew me in. Everyone was so welcoming and the lifestyle so obviously narcissistic. I fed off of that vain energy. To me it is what the sport is all about."
