It’s going to be a great day on Sunday in NYC. Manhattan half marathon is in central park. After the race, a group of friends are heading down to Battery Park to cheer on the finishers of the Park to Park one mile swim. Then we’re heading over to watch the NYC Pro Cycling race from noon to 3pm, or as long as we can stand to watch cyclists go around in a circle in the middle of downtown.
If anyone wants to drop by and say hello, I’m going to be meeting people near the finish line of the Manhattan half from about 9:15 to 9:45 before we leave for Battery Park. We’ll be at the finish of the Park-to-Park from about 10:15 to whenever. I’m about 5’8", brown hair, beard, and will be wearing a white DeSoto tri top, a white Team in Training running cap, and sunglasses.

P.S. Is anyone trying to race in both the half marathon and the park-to-park? I could probably make it from Central Park to South Cove in time for the start of the swim, but that just seems like a very stressful morning, and a little traffic on the west side would foil it completely.
A great weekend in NYC. I’ll be doing the half-marathon and then trekking down with my wife to watch the bike race. See you there! Hey Mister Rain: Don’t, please.
The NYC Tri is on Sunday, August 10th. All the details are at nyctri.com. I believe the pro start is at 6:00 a.m. for the AGers, 8:00 a.m. for the pro women and 10:00 a.m. for the pro men. However, I believe the pros will be on a different course than the AGers.
Taper? Isn’t that a job in a recording studio? I know, I should take it easy this weekend, but I promised my wife I’d do this race with her (afterall, she ldidn’t complain about me doing the Hudson Valley Tri on her birthday). I’ll think of it as a LSD training run (I’m sure my time will reflect that).
