After a decent swim in the Potomac River and no one successfully passing this Triathlon Trial Lawyer from the moment I got out of the water thanks to fast transitions and a 66 min bike ride (22.6 mph), I exited the chute onto the run course in under 80 minutes and had a sub-2:20 as a goal.   Unfortunately, my leg muscles had other ideas, and I seized up and eventually walked for the first time in my multisport racing career.  I eventually walked across the line in 2:40, my slowest Masters finish ever, and with no excuses, am humbled and more mindful that, as Ringo Starr so eloquently put it, &#8220;You know it don&#8217;t come easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theathleteslawyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sept._2008_Sports\/DSCN0957.JPG\" alt=\"Sports Legal Forms founder, attorney &amp; DC Triathlon Club officer Nicolas Jafarieh presents Rob Urbach with his Age Group 1st place Award at the Nation's Triathlon in Washington, D.C.\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" width=\"300\" \/>On the bright side, there were some terrific performances.  All of the Team USA Maccabiah competitors finished despite the heat and humidity.  Matthew Weinberg had a great ride and looked good when we caught up in the Transition area post-race.  Steve Shulman had a decent swim and bike, finishing 4th in the AG standings (in 2:24), and was seen in the &#8220;Team in Training&#8221; tent with Ironman World Champion (and TNT Coach) Dave Scott.  People were overheard asking, &#8220;Who&#8217;s that with Shulman ?&#8221;  Steve now has a new nickname, &#8220;Bagel Butt Shulman&#8221; as he had a bagel in his pocket as he was about to start the swim.  Luckily I extracted it for him, as he could have been penalized for having an &#8220;unapproved flotation device.&#8221;  Upholding the honor and the glory of the team, &#8220;Rocket Rob&#8221; Urbach finished in 2:19, winning the age group, a new watch and capping a successful summer of multisport racing.
