This afternoon I signed up for my second multisport race of the season, the New York Triathlon Series - Race #2 at Harriman State Park, 30 miles north of New York City. It is a sprint, with a half mile swim, 16 mile bike ride (which I get the sense is really hilly -- super!) and a 3 mile run. I kind of ended up picking this race by default -- I was having a really difficult time finding another one that fit into my schedule this year (it does not help that I am pretty picky about distances and do not like traveling far for races). One nice thing is the race is run by the same guys who put on the Queens Biathlon, and I felt like they did a great job, while keeping the race pretty laid back. I figure this means I finally have to start swimming soon -- I could probably knock out a half mile swim with no training at all if I had to, but if I want the time to be somewhat respectable (i.e., less than 15 minutes -- well, respectable for me), I need to get some pool time in.
