This year was the inaugural running of the Des Moines triathlon. It took the place of Hy-Vee, a huge Olympic distance race that ended last year. As I had previously focused on the Olympic distance race prior to this year, I was looking forward to this event. With not many big Olympic distance races left in the country, I put this on my calendar when they announced it.
