Welcome to my training blog!

(My training/racing bike - Litespeed Natchez)

Hi everyone!

I am training for the Nautica New York City Triathlon, which will be held on Sunday, July 18. I'm racing with Team One Family, a fund that helps victims of terror in Israel. The team has nearly sixty members this year, and we are each trying to raise $2800 for the cause. Check out my fundraising page to donate today! No contribution is too small to help their worthy efforts.

So far I have only had time to train during the team's thrice-weekly scheduled sessions. I am starting final exams this week for the end of my first year of law school and have been studying most of the time. However, I did manage to take a beautiful bike ride yesterday up the West Side Highway to 90th St. and back down. (More to come on my favorite cycling routes.)

Here's where I currently stand viz. training: I can comfortably do the 25mi cycling portion. At worst, I can let the current in the Hudson River carry me most of the 1mi swimming portion. And at best, I can cross the finish line after the 6mi running portion without losing control of my bodily functions.

Follow me as I keep you abreast of my progress!
