Sunday's Nation's Triathlon was a pretty big deal -- there have been claims that the number of registered participants -- including Mayor Adrian Fenty -- may have broken a Guinness World Record. The event, which involved a 1.5 kilometer swim, a 40 kilometer bike ride and a 10 kilometer run, was won by Robert Wade on the men's side (who finished with a 1:57:13) and Peggy Yetman on the women's side (she finished in 2:07:20). The Tri is always a prime opportunity to capture some of the best action photography in the District -- Swim Bike Run Photography, a collective of local photographers, was on hand and kindly allowed us to show off their work to the world. more ›

Looks like quite a few of you went down to cheer on competitors in this past weekend's 3rd annual Nation's Triathlon. William Schultz, 39, took first place in the challenging 1.5K swim in the Potomac River, 40K bike route and 10K run through downtown D.C., with a time of 2:01:50. Megan Knepper was the first woman to cross the finish line, at 2:17:37. And the District of Columbia's most famous participant, Mayor Adrian Fenty, took 149th place out of 1443 men (168th overall) with a time of 2:30:10. Not too shabby, Mr. Mayor.
