Nike+ Half-Marathon/Ironman NY Run Course

This morning a group of us met at the NYC Ironman transition area in Palisades Park for a freezing 13.1 mile training run. This was my first time checking out the River Road course on foot.  I’ve ridden my bike there a million times, but that proved to be no indication of HARD of a run course this is.  It is Quassy Rev3 hard. The only other course I can think of to compare it to is the Bermuda Triathlon, but that was only a 10k.  We ran the first half of the course, a two-lap out and back section on River Road.  This section is really pretty and will be shaded in August. The part of the course we didn’t see appears to be easier, although that section includes a big hill up to the GW Bridge.
