Revised plans... let's stay legal and not get in the water until 10 when the life guards are there (Phil would be upset otherwise). My room mate doesn't have a beater bike, so I'm going to take the train with her. Let's plan on meeting at Brighton 4st by the life guard stand at 10am.
Any questions, e mail me or call my cell phone, 917 355 3397.
if youre really running at that pace, then im in. see you there.

Although, I think the lifeguards aren't there until around 10am, at least that's when I've seen them setting up. Just FYI, if that alters anyone's plans.
I was just going to mention the water socks. BlueSeventy contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if we wanted to carry their swim socks. They're legal for any USAT sanctioned race where wetsuits are legal, and they give your feet some protection on rocky shores. With some bodyglide it takes about two seconds to get them off your feet in T1. If JackRabbit had them, would anyone be interested in them?
And on a related note: BS also carries neoprene timing bands. Basically it's a MUCH more comfortable strap for your timing chip than the piece of velcro you get at most races. Same question: interested?
Just so you guys know, Blue seventy (formerly Ironman wetsuits) makes neoprene feet covers intended to protect your feet from rocks, twigs, mussels, etc.

Hey Ralph,
It was good to meet you, too! I've seen you around enough in the Park.
Thanks for all the musselman
tips! The shells sound like they could be a bit of a pain. As does that death march hill at mile 8 of the run (or wherever it is... I remember looking at it on the course profile. Ouch!). How's the bike?? How would you compare it to Mooseman hill-wise?
I do know Sara Peschel. She recently moved to Berkeley, CA... that's why you haven't seen her around.
I do train in PP. I never have a regular schedule. These days I've been running at night more than in the morning, but that will probably change once Mooseman is over and I shift to marathon training.
Good luck training and racing. What have you got coming up?

Hey Edie,
It was nice meeting you and Jacob after the race
today.
I did the musselman last year. It's a really nice race, well supported. two things i remember: it started as a rainy day and they it turned blazingly hot for the run. the run is mostly uncovered and there is a dirt road hill in the middle with the death match drums at the top. also, the mussel shells cover the bottom of the lake which is only about 2 or 3 ft deep for 100's of feet from shore. My friends and I bought duct tape and taped it to the bottoms of our feet to avoid getting our feet sliced open by a broken shell. also be careful with your hands. i sliced my finger open on a sharp broken shell. ouch!
and also i didn't know you ran for greater ny. do you know sara peschel, i think she runs for that team too. i was with other brooklyn runners when we all finished boston this year and she recognized my friend. i think she said she runs in prospect, but i haven't seen her since.
anyway, good training and good racing. if you train in prospect park, lemme know, maybe i can get faster just chasing after you all. :)

July 17:3rdAnnual Musselman Triathlon - Geneva, NY Half Iron Distance-Sprint Distance-USAT- 2006 Grand Prix Series http://www.musselmantri.com/ From Brooklyn Tri: Edie P., Phil N.? Tony C.?
July 17th: NYC Triathlon Manhattan, New York City - Olympic distance http://www.nyctri.com/ From BrooklynTri: Eric V.,Craig H., Katie H., Jose A., Len L., Jessica,David M., Helene R., Rebecca M., Michele M., David R., Jaime B., Niklas P.
This was my first race of the season and I did the sprint b/c the olympic distance (on Sunday) was already closed out by the time I knew I'd be living on the east coast (moved to Brooklynin March). The race was very well organized and I thought everything went well given some interesting circumstances. First, there was a water quality issue when there was a "fish kill" in a stream that feeds into the Schuykill (the swim was in the Schuykill) a couple of weeks before the race. Long story short, the water was deemed clean and OK for swimming. However, the water temp was 80 degrees so wetsuits were not allowed. Second, they were fighting with thunderstorms all weekend so everything was up in the air.
The course was beautiful-- along the Schuykill river and the bike was a smooth mix of hills and flats while the run was an out and back with a view of the famous art museum (think: Rocky). It started raining pretty hard during the bike portion which slowed us down on the turns but also cooled things off.
All in all, it was a great first race for me to prepare for olympic and half-ironmans coming up---practicing transitions, etc. Incidentally, because of thunderstorms, the olympic was changed to a duathlon on Sunday so I guess we lucked out on Saturday getting in the swim! Final results: 18:28 swim (0.5 mile), 50:05 bike (15 miles), 22:07 (3.1 mi) with transition a total of 1:35:17 to finish 11th/42 in my age group (male 30-34). Was satisfied with the time, not ecstatic, but again, it was a great practice race.
Oh, I almost forgot. The BEST thing about the race? Best food spread I've ever seen after a tri---full hoagies (subs), sicilian pizza, pasta salad, bagels, cookies, fruit, you name it. A great way to end the race!
Contraryto
the name of the race they didn't really expect us to run until all
violenceagainst women and girls stops; if so, I'm pretty sure we'd
still be out there,pounding the pavement in endless loops. As it was,
we only completed whatturned out to be just over a 5K. This was your
typical NYRR race, wellmanaged and run. It was extremely humid, I felt
like none of my sweat wasactually evaporating off my skin. On the
other hand, it was great to run arace on my home turf, where I could
really finely tune my efforts to what Iknew the course had in store.
As usual with PP races, the hill tookseveral of the people near me by
suprise. I had a great race, with mylongest (hill) mile at 8:10; my
average pace was an 8:02 mile, a new PR. And there were popsicles at
the end! What's not to love?
I hope to ride - if I can get out of work.
who else will be there? anyone willing to watch the
bikes?

I'd love some company! Catherine - 646 303 7880
SATURDAY, JULY 1 - 3rd Free Duathlon Workout in Prospect Park planned for this Saturday, July 1st, 8AM. ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT! The start, finish, and

sorry to share morbid news, but i saw this article about a recent biker death on houston street. it also mentions a death that occurred recently when someone on the west side BIKE PATH at 38 street was killed by a tow truck. never assume that you are safe even on the bike path.
A Brooklyn filmmaker bicycling to work in the rain was killed yesterday morning when he fell off his bike and tumbled underneath a truck on West Houston Street in Greenwich Village.
The victim, Derek Lake, 23, a graduate of the School of Visual Arts who had recently finished directing his first feature, was declared dead at the scene after he was crushed beneath the
wheels of a tractor-trailer going west, as it edged alongside a construction site that had narrowed the busy roadway from three lanes to one.
Mr. Lake was the third cyclist since 2005 to be killed on Houston Street, a six-lane crosstown thoroughfare that draws a large number of trucks and has a high number of accidents involving cyclists.
There were 24 fatal accidents involving bike riders last year across the city, the Police Department said.
Officials did not have figures for any part of this year, which would include the death on Sunday of Dr. Carl H. Nacht, a 56-year-old physician who was hit by a Police Department tow truck last Thursday as he and his wife rode their bicycles along the Hudson River Park bike path.
Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, a cycling advocacy group, said these and other recent accidents underscored what he called the continued hostility
that bike riders face from motor vehicles in New York City, where protected cycling lanes are rare and cars and their often-aggressive drivers rule the road. "The average New Yorker probably thinks you have to be a little bit crazy to ride a bike in New York, and that's a shame," Mr. White said. "Biking shouldn't have to be so perilous."
Although Mr. White praised the Transportation Department for installing a dedicated bike lane along Eighth Avenue between 14th and 23rd Streets recently, he said bicyclists still faced a free-for-all on most of the city's streets. About 120,000 people a day use bicycles in the city, according to the organization, a 40 percent increase from a decade ago.
The accident that killed Mr. Lake occurred at 9:30 a.m. as he made his way to work on a silver mountain bike he bought three weeks ago, according to the police. Camerino Ovando, 43, a truck driver headed west on Houston Street, said he saw
Mr. Lake make a right turn from La Guardia Place and wobble along a steel plate covering a construction trench before falling beneath the trucks' wheels. "The bike went to the right, and he went to the left," he said.
Under city contracting regulations, such plates must be flush with the pavement and be made skid-resistant. Over the weekend, the company in charge of rebuilding Houston Street, Tully Construction, was issued six citations for failing to maintain its plates. But Bill Ryan, a spokesman for the company, insisted that there was no plate at the spot where Mr. Lake fell.
The driver of the truck was not charged in the accident but was given summonses for six violations involving his vehicle's equipment, the police said.
Mr. Lake was raised in a small town outside Elmira, N.Y. He lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant and worked at a small multimedia production company filming and directing the filming of corporate and
private events and promotions, according to his friends. Last year, he wrote and directed "Sans Pertinence," a short feature about the tribulations of four American soldiers who capture a German prisoner near the end of World War II.
Edwin Mullon, the president of Visionary Interactive, Mr. Lake's employer, said that Mr. Lake was thrilled on Friday to learn that his movie had been accepted into yet another film festival. He said he hired Mr. Lake after seeing a short film he made when he was just 16. "I was just so astonished by his talent," Mr. Mullon said. "I thought, one day he's going to be a great director."
In last Thursday's accident, Dr. Nacht, a physician at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital
Center, was riding home from dinner in Chelsea when a tow truck unexpectedly turned into the bike lane at 38th Street and 12th Avenue, according to his wife, Mary Beth Kelly, who was with him at the time. Despite signs telling drivers to yield to pedestrians and cyclists, she said the tow truck did not slow down as it headed toward a riverfront tow pound. The driver was not cited, although the police said the accident was still under investigation.
Ms. Kelly said she and her husband had roamed the world on bicycles for the past 35 years and had made weekly jaunts to Brooklyn. Even in winter, Dr. Nacht made the daily ride from his home on 103rd Street and Riverside Drive to his office on West 66th Street. "He knew what he was doing," she said. "We thought because we were on a bike path, we were safe."

USAT New England Region recognizes that Triathlon Clubs play a vital role in the development and enjoyment of our sport.
The New England Region of USAT has selected the Greenfield Triathlon Intermediate Distance as the 2006 Regional Club Championships for 2006. This event will be held on August 6th, 2006 in Greenfield MA. Further information on this race can be obtained at www.greenfield-triathlon.com
Awards
will be presented to first three Clubs in each division in addition to a handsome Traveling Trophy for the Division Winners. These will be provided by USAT, and USAT NE.
