swim in the Potomac River, a 40-kilometer bike ride through downtown
district and a 10-kilometer run past the nation's best known historical
landmarks.
“The Nation’s Triathlon takes a lot of endurance and we’re proud that
our nutrition products will play a role in fueling the athletes'
performance," said Michael O. Johnson, chairman and chief executive
