Snowflakes in the City

Ironically enough the NYRR Al Gordon Snowflake Run, has been canceled due to snow. To be fair, the run was not totally canceled but converted from a scored race to a fun run. However that was not enough to deter the triathletes from Team in Training who showed up in force to run through the park for the morning GTS while training for the Capital of Texas Triathlon, St. Anthony Triathlon and the Gulf Coast Half-Ironman.

For those who decided to stay home, they missed a great run where the park was covered with a blanket of white instead of its normal green (okay for this time of year, make that brown). It almost makes you forget that you are in New York City. Even at 8:00 in the morning the roads were pretty clear. Just a few other runners seen in the distance, that is, until the hordes from Team in Training descend upon the scene.

For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to take an early morning run in the park after a snow, you don't know what you are missing. I say throw on your cold weather gear and take a run or at least a stroll through the park.
