The 9th Annual Events DC Nation’s Triathlon to Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society took place under perfect weather in the early morning hours of Sunday September 7, 2014 in West Potomac Park. The triathlon is normally a multiple stage competition featuring running, swimming and biking featuring a course that winds through Washington, DC’s monument corridor. Unfortunately, the swim portion of the contest had to be cancelled due to runoff in the Potomac after Saturday's heavy rainfall. But the change in climate was welcome and temperatures hovered around 70 degrees at the start of the race at 7 AM. The other two portions of the race went on and the event schedule remained nearly the same. Austin Jackson of Arlington was the eventual winner. Emily Richard of Washington D.C. was the top female finisher.
