2:26:09 - one minute and 9 seconds off of my goal for the day...
The past couple of months challenged my race preparation and training regimen. Racing triathlon last year to this year, I experienced some changes. I placed in 3 of the 6 races I participated in during 2009...this year, I'm completing (not competing in) my races.
So, "how was New York?" people have been asking. Well, to give a general summary, here you go!
I arrived in New York on Wednesday evening, as clients had flown me in to speak in their companies on Thursday and Friday (always nice to mix my two passions: Performance...on and off the field!). My seminars and coaching programs went great both days, I got plenty of rest each night, and as it was especially warm in NYC, I drank as much water as possible! Saturday arrived, and I walked from my hotel over to the race registration hotel, and sat through the first orientation of the morning.
"Remember your helmet..."
"Get into transition early, we close at 5:45am..."
"The Hudson was measured today at 74.5 degrees, we think it will be a wetsuit-legal race..."
