| I've done several sprints and want to try an Olympic distance this summer. Love the idea of a great tri right in DC, but dry heave every time I think about swimming in the Potomac! If you've done it, how was the swim? (I'm okay with the distance; I literally am asking about water quality.) I understand there are misting tents at the swim exit. If I don't care about my time, can I hang out in one for a couple of minutes? (No joke!) |
| I did it a few years ago and was also grossed out by the water in the Potomac before the event. During and after, it really didn't matter. Go for it! |
