Registration opens February 1st for DC's 2nd Triathlon, the Washington DC Triathlon, which joins the Nation's Triathlon. It benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Inaugural Washington DC TriathlonTM on June 20th, 2010, will feature Sprint and Olympic distance courses that wind through DC's monumental corridors with a spectacular finish along Pennsylvania Avenue - America's Main Street - in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol Building. Registration for the race opens at 9 AM EST on February 1st, 2010. Those interested in registering for the race should go to www.DCTri.com.
A USAT-sanctioned race, the races will start in West Potomac Park along the banks of the Potomac River and will finish on Pennsylvania Avenue and 3rd Streets, NW. The Sprint distance course includes a .8k swim, 20k bike and 6.7k run. The Olympic distance course includes a 1.5k swim in the Potomac River, 40k bike course along DC's most scenic parkways and a 10k run through Washington's monumental corridor.
Very nice although I think the organizers could have picked a better date. Many area triathletes will be racing in the Eagleman Half Ironman triathlon in nearby Cambridge, MD, just one week before the Washington DC Triathlon.
I think I'll still try to enter the new WDC Triathlon, even if I won't get much rest after Eagleman. How can I pass up the opportunity to race in an outdoor triathlon right in my backyard? As long as I don't get exhausted in this race, it should be a lot of fun.
