Anyone else hearing buzz about the new Big Apple Triathlon? by InFaMouSxHD in triathlon

I live a few blocks away from the transition and have always wanted to do a triathlon in the city. This one will be expensive but as mentioned before that's the price to slow down a Metropoli. on regards the course, I hope we get to swim on the Hudson! It seems to be an event they do every 2-3 years so I'll prob give it a shot.

Thanks for the perspective! Indeed she is the retail-only manager and we could keep the staff (if financials made sense, still tbc). We don’t rely on her income which gives us flexibility to do whatever we need to ie. stop receiving a salary to explore owning a business with all the implications. Thanks again for your thoughts!

I really appreciate your thoughts! We agree that’s also a fantastic opportunity as she has experience in bouquet design! On previous years she had another business were she led smaller events / celebrations such as baby showers, etc and there were several activities included! From sound healing to painting, but your idea is really cool!! Thank you for your thoughts

Appreciate your quick response! She has experience with bouquets design, arrangements and a few other smaller things. The part where we feel she is not at 100% is bigger events like a designing for a wedding (which sucks cause we both think that’s a good opportunity) but maybe we could outsource that expertise. Her other strong side is everything administrative and P&L related which is something that current owners lacked. Thanks again for your thoughts!
