"Dear Perry, congratulations! You have been selected in Round 1 of our 2012 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon Lottery."
Woohoooo....email w/ those words had to be the BEST news and email of the week for me! So excited . . . selected in round 1 of lottery too! Guess I best be hitt'n that pool in the very near future.
Congratulations to everyone else who was selected as well. And special congrats to those of you who will be doing this race for the first time ever. IT'S AMAZING and you will LOVE it! Don't be freaked about the swim. The sharks don't bite....swear!
If you're new to my blog, I've journaled my incredible experience with this race for the past four years and have included quite a few training tips that might help you out. Some video tips of the swim as well, which was my biggest fear my first year...now it's my favorite part of the entire race.
Woohoo!! Let the fun begin!

Congratulations Perry! I kept checking your blog when I was waiting for the lottery results to see if you had heard!
Unfortunately, I did not get a slot in the First Round, and will need to wait until January to see if I have better luck in the Second Round. The rub is, this would be my third year of competing, which means a better chance of getting in through the lottery in future years.
On a postive note, I suggested that a friend who had never done it sign up for the lottery, and she is in!!!
