Dry Tri

On Friday 9/9/2011 we drove to Washington DC for the Nation's Triathlon.  The expo for the triathlon was held at the hotel and while speaking with on of the sponsors they said the new name for the triathlon was "The Dry Tri."  I know there have been other triathlons that cancelled the swim event but I like the way "dry tri" sounds so I'll always smile when I hear "dry tri."  Since this will be my first Olympic distance triathlon I still have to bike 40K and run 10K even though the swim is cancelled.  There are 5000 athletes signed up for the triathlon.  On the elevator I met someone that flew in from Seattle but the doors opened before I could ask if they rented a bike or brought their bike from Seattle.  I wonder who traveled the farthest distance to get to Washington DC.
