An estimated 4,500 women, the largest number of competitors in the eight-city series, participated in the event that includes a half-mile swim, 12-mile bicycle ride and three-mile run. It was the 15th time the event has been run in Seattle. The series concludes Sept. 16 in Sandy Hook, N.J. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
