Hi Susan,

you are right, the bike course is on the parkways and consists of two loops marked by cones. You must ride on the right lane as the center lane is reserved for official and emergency vehicles. The course is essentially flat.

The runs are of the out-and-back kind. They both start with a fairly steep downhill and, of course, end with a fairly steep uphill (less than a quarter mile). Except for the up and down parts, the run is on a nice path with no motorized traffic whatsoever.

Frank

To Tri/Bi Members: I'm thinking of doing the Queens Bi on May 16th. Most of the bike course seems to be on the Grand Central Parkway and Cross Island Parkway. Would be interested in any feedback/comments/advice on the course. Thank you! Susan Chan

Just want to give snaps to “Sprockets” bike shop in Port St. Lucie, Florida. I am down here to visit family and they hooked me up with some great routes and two group rides.

Now I know why Frank spends his winters down here.

I was riding north along A1A highway this morning watching the sun come up over my shoulder. And not a hill in sight J

I will be back in time for the Bronx Bi, see you there.

There's an A ride at Harriman.Bear Mtn. Saturday at 9AM - it's 50 miles with plenty of hills. Doubt that anyone else would be running afterward though.

The ride schedule shows no B+ ride for Saturday April 10.

I'll be riding out of SUNY at 9:00 AM sharp for a 44 mile loop to Bedford, Greenwich and back. A flattish ride. Last time we did it last year the average speed was 17.3 This goes for the seasoned B+ riders.

For those of you who wish to make this a "Moving up to B+" experience, the target pace will be 15.5 and I'll be glad to lead this group and no one will be dropped.

Rain, snow, hail and ice (or a menacing forecast thereof) cancel the ride.

Call me if you have questions (not later than 11:00 PM please)

Thanks Frank,

In all the excitement I did not hit the lap button on my watch going in and out of the transition area. My bike time was off the bike computer so my transition times are mixed in with the run times. My bike speed average mph was 21, cadence average of 91 and the power average was 236 watts. I have a Polar HRM with the power accessory attached, it give all kinds of cool stuff to look at afterwards J

Thanks again for your help,

George

Hi George,

considering that in your first duathlon you finished 8/75 in your age group (one of the most populated and competitive) and 48/465 overall, there is no doubt that you did quite well.

You are a fast runner and you should definitely position yourself way up front for the first run.

To further analyze your performance I'd like to know your transition times and your average speed on the bike.

Frank and everyone else, It was great to meet you all at the race. I had a really great time at my first event. I can't wait for the next one. My thoughts have been on what I need to do to improve my time. I hope some of you can help. As best as I can figure, my race broke down this way: 1st run 15:10 Bike 36:39 2nd run 15:35 Total 1:07:24 I felt like I could have run the first leg faster, but I lined up pretty far back and it was difficult getting through the crowd the fist 1/2 mile or so. I went as hard as I could on the bike and I passed way more people than passed me. I passed a few people on the final run. My average HR was 174 for the event. From this limited info, can anyone offer up some suggestion on what I should work on? Thanks and see you in the Bronx. George Grenier

Hi All:

If you are looking for a new kind of racing experience, or training for the upcoming Triathlon/Duathlon season, I'd like to recommend a unique race in Van Cortlandt Park, in the Bronx. The date, April 4th, is just before the upcoming Bronx Biathlon.

The "Urban Environmental Challenge" is a true trail race. It's not a cross country race, but it is run on singletrack trails in the back hills of Van Cortlandt Park. It is 6.3 miles long, with 2 water stops.

The Challenge is organized by runners, for runners. The course is technical, but fast. It is well marked,and marshaled, by the members of the Van Cortlandt Track Club.

You can register on www.active.com or download a copy from our web site www.vctc.org

If you have any questions, you can contact me.

Hope to see you out there,

Dennis Burns

I've started looking at the race calendar, and penciling in a few
possibilities.  It would be fun if we could target a few races that
we could travel to as a group.

Keep in mind, I'm rather biased to sprint triathlons.  However a
couple of these events either have a concurrent duathlon, for the
swim challenged, or a 1/2 Ironman for the distance junkies.

I have also added my two cents worth when I've done a race before.

June 26th, Mooseman Triathlon (Sprint), Waterville Valley, NH.

This is a new race, but the organizer puts on great events, and I'm
sure this will be a good one.  On the 27th they are having a
mountain bike tri.

July 11th, Mossman Triathlon, (Sprint) Fairfield, CT.
USAT New England Regional Sprint Championship.

July 24th, Sunset Sprint Triathlon, and Duathlon, Bridgeton, NJ.

A really nice course.  Bike course is flat, and the run is on shaded
trail.  Fills up pretty quickly, and one of those races that you
should spend the night.

August 8th, Greenwich Triathlon (Sprint)

Got to love a race that's less then 30 minutes away.  Now that my
age is ending a zero this season, I can live with the 10 year age
groups.

August 15th, West Point Triathlon (Sprint)West Point, NY.

The cadets put on a great race.  Where else can you be addressed
as "sir" or "Ma'am" by the course marshalls, and volunteers?

August 21st, Timberman Sprint, August 22nd Timberman 1/2 Ironman.
Lake Winnipesaukee, NH.

I will be doing the sprint on Saturday.  This is a beautiful, and
cahllenging course.  It's is a really well run race, and they give
really nice things in the goody bag.  Last year the two races were
on the same day. This year they're having them on seperate days.
The really hardy souls can do both.  I might be persuaded to be part
of a relay in the half iron on Sunday.  I will swim or bike, but
forget the run!

September 18th, National Age Group Championship
Shreveport, LA.

I hope they make some changes in the course, but would love to
qualify for Team USA again, because the Worlds are going to be in
Hawaii.

Sept. 26th Westchester Triathlon (Olympic Distance), Rye, NY.

Another race close to home, and raises money for a good cause.  I
will be doing again with Team in Training.

I know I've left out all the NY Tri club races, but one can only
pick so many.

Let me know if anyone would like to join me on one of my various
road trips this season.

Polly

John,

The time trial course is basically flat, it has

a slight uphill tendency on the way out and

the opposite on the way back. It's an out and

back and the side roads are monitored to help

stop traffic. The road has wide shoulders and

last year was very smooth. Straight too, you

just zoom out 5 miles turn around and zoom back! They had a starter who held your bike and a start clock and starts were every minute.

It is USCF sanctioned.

The longer tour rides are hilly,we did the 50 last year and there are some steep grades, but they were not very long.

And then there is the Barbecue!!!! Post ride.

How about this past weekend? Felt great outdoors!!! Ta Ta.........Barb

Sounds great but it conflicts with the Bronx Biathlon :-( By the way the web site does appear to be up but the url is actually
http://wvc04.tripod.com/ and you can see last year's TT results at http://wvc03.tripod.com. Nice ride Barbara!

Hey everyone, There is a time trial coming up on April 25th, it's 10 miles and USCF sanctioned. You can follow this up with a metric century ride in the beautiful Gunks in Wallkill, NY. (across the river west of Newburgh). Bob and I participated last year and we found the time trial well organized, fun and the scenery and ride a great time. There are also 50, 35 and 15 mile options. They have a giant barbecue afterward, chicken, baked potato, baked beans, cole slaw, pizza and free beer!!! Advance registration is $25 for both the time trial and the tour & the food (you do have to purchase an event license from USCF $7, if you are not USCF licensed,in order to enter the time trial). For more info contact Bob Keator 845-895-9946 or http://wvc.04tripod.com The event is well worth the drive (about an hour). Hope to see you there..Barb
