I did this two years ago, and it was a low-key and well run event. There is a 1 mile option, a 2 mile option, or you can do both for a total of 3 miles. Who's in?

I am! And Elaine started a DC Tri Club group - so be sure to join us so we can kick the Mid-Maryland Tri group's butt!

Bump.

I'm in. I'm new to the group and never done a triathlon, but I've signed up for nation's tri. I was a collegiate swimmer, looking for a fun open water swim before nation's tri. Let me know what you are planning.

Im planning on doing this but did not see a start time on the website anywhere??

From the event homepage, click on the "Event Information" button on the left side. If you scroll down that page, they list the schedule for the morning. The 1 mile swim mandatory meeting is at 7:45/swim starts at 8. The 2 mile swim mandatory meeting is at 9:15/swim starts at 9:30.

Thanks! Ill be there for the 2 mile. -Brian
