Fenty prepares for a race (above) and exits the Potomac after a 1.5 kilometer swim as part of the Nation's Triathlon on Sept. 14. He finished 150th out of 1,443 male participants. He rises early twice a week for hour-long runs and spends one morning each week doing speed training. He blocks out time for swimming and cycling - part of his more recent focus on competing in triathlons.
