I’m racing the Westchester Triathlon this weekend in NY. It will be my first time racing there? Anyone else racing?

For those who have raced it before, how is the bike? I heard it was really hilly and I heard it was just rolling. How much does your speed slow down compared to a flat race?

What are the swim and run like?

Thanks.

so…how was your race? How’d you find the course, and everything?

I had a decent race. I found the course better than I expected. The swim was nice. I always like a short swim! Really hard to pass people on the bike with all the crowds, so that was frustrating, but I sort of expected that starting in the 7th wave and it being a large race. I was expecting the worst for the potholes, so they weren’t too bad. I didn’t find the climbing that tough. The bike course was nice other than the crowding and road surface. Run seemed a bit short and I didn’t have a great run which is normally my best thing. The course was pretty nice. Ended up 2nd in my AG, 7th OA female amatuer. I would have liked to do a little better, but it wasn’t to bad. It was my last race of the year, so it was a nice race to finish with.

What did you think of the race? How did your race go?
