Like others said I think you're going to be OK. I've done some cold triathlon swims and wasn't able to do a practice swim mostly because we were not allowed into the water (Indian Wells 70.3 is one). Water temps were in the 50sF but I think water will be in the high 60sF for your race.
I live close to the Canadian border in Vermont and will swim in our mountain pond this week (more like a small lake). I'm hearing the water is high 60sF here. So I would imagine it's warmer 6 hours south of me even in the Hudson or ocean.
I would love to hear about the NYC Triathlon after you completed it. Please give us a race report :-)
I have been intrigued about doing this one. I'm a rural person who lives off-grid but it's exciting for me to visit a big city once in a while. I've done some big city marathons in the past and I'm well-traveled so this one is on my radar. Plus I'm done with the full IM after this year and excited to focus on smaller, faster distances.
Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.
