Thanks everyone. Really appreciate all the feedback.
Unfortunately, BTC is probably a no-go, just based on logistics alone. Asphalt Green is an option, but the limited schedule at Battery Park and having to trek to the UES is a big negative. I’ll have to do a little more research to see if it’s a good fit or not.
I’ve been swimming with Empire Tri Club in their Monday night programs all summer, but only as a “proxy” type member. I pay a little extra than their members do to participate in the swim, but I don’t actually pay membership to them…yet. I’ll probably start there and see what I can find. I figure I have a month or two to work it out before I really have to buckle down and stick to a program.
I’d really like to find a club that has MOP/recreational triathletes that are also diving into IMLP…that would be the ultimate for me.
Thanks again!
