Jones 4th at 5150 Washington DC Triathlon

Jordan Jones raced to his best performance of the year over the weekend with a 4th place finish at the 5150 Washington DC triathlon. Getting out of the Potomac River in around 20th and one minute down from the main pack, Jones quickly got to work aboard his Trek Speed Concept bike.
He moved up to 11th by the end of the first of two loops that wound through downtown Washington DC. He then worked hard on the second loop to pass all but the leader, Australian Paul Matthews, to place himself in second place off of the bike.
Regaining run fitness after missing his last race due to an achilles injury, Jones ran well but couldn’t match the form of Tim Reed and David Thompson who passed him for 2nd and 3rd respectively.
After finishing in front of the White House, Jones was pleased which his finish. “I felt fantastic on the bike and really went after it, trying to catch Paul up front. That effort caught up to me on the run but I’m very happy with the finish nonetheless.”
Jones now sits in 19th position in the 5150 Pro Rankings which are used to determine who qualifies for the $1.2 million dollar purse series championship race in September.
