Anyone doing the NYC Triathlon or Du?

Is anyone racing the NYC Triathlon this Sunday? I’m not for various reasons (see footer for more if you wanna hear all about it) but I’d love to know how it’s gone if you’ve done this race before, or what you’re expecting for this year’s race now that it's in October rather than midsummer.

Curious as to thoughts especially re: this race vs Jones Beach 70.3 which just happened last weekend. For locals, did you choose one over the other? what went into that decision?

I've done it in the past when it was always smoking hot in July. I really like the race. So, I'd definitely consider it again in the cooler weather......

How is the current flooding and weather going to affect Sunday’s race? It looks like Sunday’s weather is lovely but the current rain is going to carry on until tomorrow morning. Surely it’s overwhelming emergency crews and first responders.

I can’t see the race happening Sunday.

It is an absolute mess here today. I hope they don’t cancel the race, but I doubt we will swim.

Also, I feel for those in Brooklyn.
no sponsors | no races | nothing to see here

Extreme irony: they cancelled the swim and turned the whole thing into a duathlon. L O L
