The 9th Annual Nautica New York City Triathlon took place in Manhattan featuring athletes from 45 states and 18 countries. The top finishers were Greg Bennett who achieved a fourth consecutive win with a time of 1:45:50 and Rebeccah Wassner with a time of 1:58:25. The course consisted of a 1500-meter swim in the Hudson River, a 40-kilometer bike ride along the Henry Hudson Parkway, and a 10K run in Central Park. The IAMS 5-Mile Doggy Dash was also a popular event this year with nearly 20 dogs and their owners taking part.
I was thinking of getting a sports watch for someone I know who is going to start doing a lot of triathlon training. I wanted to get them something they could use for cycling, running and swimming that is a really great athletic companion but isn’t too expensive. Can anyone help me here?
I am trying to train for my first sprint triathlon and am very weak in the swimming portion of it. I can not even complete 50yards without stopping to rest. How do I possibly increase that and is it possible? It seems unreachable at this point.

I am an avid runner who has decided to try a triathlon in 2010. Besides owning a Jamis Mountain Bike some years ago, I am a basically a novice when it comes to bikes. What type of bike would be good for a triathlon? I have a 35 mile commute to work on hilly asphalt paved trails. So, I intend to use this bike for commuting to assist with my training. Please advice on good models, special features I should look for, etc.
I will be doing my first sprint triathlon and am wonder what to do with the wetsuit in T1. Can I leave it in the transition area and continue with the race? Or do I have to carry it with me to T2?
Should I worry about my wetsuit and other things getting stolen in T1?… How do contestants usually hold onto drink and power bars while biking?
I’m not really doing the triathlon but my friends mom is and she is really getting fit and I wanna know what I could do.
Hi, I am doing a Half Iron-Man on July 11th and am wondering if doing an Olympic distance triathlon 2 weeks before is too close to the half-iron. My main goal this year is the half-iron and I am hoping to not only finish but to get a good time as well.
Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

I will be 17 for the 2010 triathlon. I’ve never done a triathlon before but I’m in good shape and am willing to train for it. My question is how do I get into it?
