We already knew that D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown was a hot yoga enthusiast. But a triathlete? The Post reports that, indeed, Brown has been quietly training to participate in this year’s Nation’s Triathlon.

The race — which boasts a 30-mile swimming, biking and running course — will be held on September 11. But the 40-year-old Brown tells Tim Craig that one particular section of the course concerns him:

“I’ve always wanted to do one, but the problem is the Potomac River swim,” Brown said. “But I’m 40, and I figured it’s time to do it, and I don’t have to fly anywhere or go anywhere.”

Just be sure to watch out for the mutants, Chairman, and you’ll do fine.
