In just one day, the country's most competitive athletes give it their all in Cleveland for the USA Triathlon National Championships.
While the athletes are getting their doses of adrenaline rushes, those looking to get around will have to navigate a number of road closures. The Olympic-Distance Age Group National Championship will take place on Saturday, Aug. 11. The Sprint National Championship will be on Sunday, Aug. 12.
Those who compete in both races have the chance to land spots on Team USA in 2019.
