New York City Triathlon is a little more than two months away. The race will officially be the first Olympic distance competition for me. To ensure that I fully prepare for the race, including knowing the course, I ran the race route in Central Park today. The race route in Central Park goes from west to east side. The race route is just as challenging, if not more difficult, as my usual training route from east to west; hills are longer and curvier. While running the loop, I did body weight strength training: 200 push-ups and 30 squats.

Total workout time: 1:05:04

The walk back to the office was soothing and enjoyable. New York City is beautiful when it’s sunny and warm!

Would you care to join The Sweaty Guinea Pig for a nice run next time?
