As the heat wave continues to stretch into a sixth day, the New York City Triathlon went ahead this morning, but with changes. JohnElliottTV reports.
More than 2,400 people registered between the ages of 14-81. More than 700 people have volunteered to help out with the event, said Natalie Bushaw of Life Time.
"We do have to worry about both the 14-year-olds and the 81-year-olds, and all the supporting communities that help us pull this event together. Law enforcement, volunteers, spectators, medical personnel, our own staff. There's a lot that goes into it," said Nicole Bostick of Life Time.
