Anklebreaker Triathlon in Lincolnia set for Labor Day

What better way to celebrate Labor Day than taking part in the second annual Lincolnia Park Anklebreaker Triathlon. The competition includes a six-length swim, three and a-half-mile bike race, and two-mile run. “It’s a great intro to the sport and is family friendly,” says organizer Loretta Prencipe.

The event takes place Monday, Sept. 7 at the Lincolnia Park Pool, 6501 Montrose St., Alexandria, at 7:40 a.m. Awards will be given in separate categories for children and adults, including men and women ages 18-39, men and women over 40, and “athenas” and “clydesdales,” which refers to women over 150 pounds and men over 200 pounds.

Registration must be received by Sept. 5. The entry fee starts at $25 for pool members. All participants must be signed in, have bikes racked, and be ready to go by 7:30 a.m. Kids 12 and under are encouraged to participate and must be accompanied by an adult throughout the course. There will be t-shirts and food, thanks to the event sponsors, including Chesapeake Veterinary Cardiology Associates.
