NYC triathlon: 30th OA and 15th Elite athlete

2:05:17....PR on the Olympic distance!

I couldn't have asked more on this race after the heavy crash I suffered on the bike on Thursday, July 11th (3 days before the race)

It was great to start the race at 6:10 and take advantage of the strong current and the open bike course! 
The swim was fast, I believe 14' to swim the 0.93 miles.
I expected more than the 1:05 on the bike, but whitout race wheels and still being shaken up by the crash, I was still happy to partake in the race (I still had headaches the night before the race!) 
The run is never easy in Central Park, but always awesome! I managed to run 6 minutes faster than last year, and seeing the crowd on 72nd street cheer you on gave me te goosebumps and the extra boost of energy to rally the finish line!

Now I cannot wait to be one of them and cheer on my gf @mariesacarrow for her first NYC tri and first ever Olympic distance event! Rendezvous on August 3rd, 2014, NYC!
