Days left till NYC Triathlon: 11
Activity: Run Group Training Session
A transverse is defined as 'lying or extending across'. In Central Park there are many such transverses, they are on 97th, 86th, 72nd and 65th streets, the transverse connects the park from east to west. The 72nd street transverse is an important one for the NYC Triathlon, it is where we enter the park after running up from riverside drive and it is where we end the race coming in from the east side ending at Cherry Hill.
Today we did out and backs from Columbus Circle crossing the transverse at 72nd street from west to east and then turning back to Columbus circle again. We did this four times, it was hot, humid and sticky and the course was hilly. I was pretty tired by the end of the run. It started to rain after we finished running, if only the rain had come 30 minutes earlier the run would have been so much easier but I guess the tougher the better. I am trying to get all the grueling workouts in before the end of this week, as next week I will be tapering down to ready myself for the race.
