Check out the speed on the second leg of the Nation’s Triathalon: the bike course on the E Street Expressway.
Speed so fast that riders are just a blur. And when they fall, like one just did, a blur of pain.
Good luck to everyone. May you all finish even if you have to hobble across the line, like I did once.
Later on, as I was cheering folks at the bike turnaround at the top of Rock Creek Park, I swear I saw our mayor, Adrian Fenty, pushing good time. He was wearing the #1 jersey and looked great after his recent bike spill.
Go Adrian!
