Ironman - cycling

So I did something insane… and signed up for an iron”man”.

I’m solid with the running and swimming portions, but I’m not the biggest cyclist. I wanted to know if anyone had tips for training in NYC! Since I’ll have to do 80+ mile rides, not sure what the best (and safest) routes would be.

Any Ironmen, triathletes, or cyclists out there that have tips for me??? It’s not until September so I have time!

Would super appreciate it! ❤️🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏼
