Extreme heat is expected to be a challenge for athletes competing in the New York City Triathlon that kicked off Sunday morning.
Organizers said they are doing everything to keep athletes safe, including handling out ice towels and opening up a misting station.Cycling portions will be halved to 12.4 miles and the running portion will be shortened to 2.5 miles from 6.2 miles.
"Love that they're taking care of our safety first and they've shrunk the distances for all three of the races, which is a bit concerning because that's what you pay for so you want to go for the full triathlon and you want that score to count for you and so since they've shrunk it down it's a bit disappointing but it's nice to know they're taking care of our health first," triathlete Shiv Patel said.
