Training in Alexandria

If anyone is looking for an interesting place to train, I enjoy swimming at the Washington Rec Center or Mount Vernon Rec Center in Alexandria where, afterward, I ride or run along the Mount Vernon Trail. I have even completed a swim-bike-run training session with little effort or worry. While you may need to bring all of your stuff with you, (you can lock your bike in front of either center and lock your gear either in your car or in the lockers in the changing rooms) I find this a great and scenic place to practice. I am a beginner (only two sprint Tris but I am practicing for the Nation's Tri in September) and I find this a great place where I can swim, bike and run all in the same area. To change it up, you can ride up to Mount Vernon or towards Key Bridge, depending upon where you start.

By the end of June, I would like to do a swim-bike-run training session once a month so if anyone has any other suggestions as to where one could practice, let me know. I am always looking for new places.
