Imagine your town’s most congested roadway. Multiply that congestion by a factor between two and one hundred (depending on town size). Then imagine that artery being shut down all morning so 3200 Lycra-loving endurance junkies can ride their bikes up and down it and fantasize that they are racing the cars on the other side. Honestly, it’s amazing that the Nautica New York City Triathlon convinces the city to shut down one half of the Henry Hudson Parkway each year, but they do. Yesterday’s race started with pros like this guy and everyone else swimming .9-mile swim in the Hudson River dodging debris and PCBs. Then it was onto the Henry Hudson Parkway for 24 miles of cycling before a final 6.2-mile run around New York City’s crown jewel of greenery, Central Park. If your interested in what happened in the race, Inside Triathlon magazine will have a report and photos - by yours truly - posted later today.
