The VASA ride, sponsored by the Swedish Embassy was well attended by athletes young and old, new and experienced. Several neighbors of the Landau Law Shop complete the rides of varying distances, and some triathletes did over 50 miles ! TheAthletesLawyer Doug Landau had visions of frostbite near the end of the journey as he rode his bike through Georgetown. However, there was a hot, sweet treat waiting for all participants at the House of Sweden.
All rides finished with the Vasa Race’s famed blueberry soup courtesy of Ekströms, part of Procordia Food AB and the Swedish Embassy. Here is Doug Landau sampling some of this rare treat. It definitely helped The Athletes Lawyer “thaw out” after pedalling for close to 4 hours ! The House of Sweden is located at 2900 K Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20007, along the Georgetown waterfront at the terminus of the Rock Creek Trail. It is also accessible from the Mt. Vernon Trail, Martha Custis Trail and Capital Crescent Trail.
