Post swim, I did a 10 mile run with quite a few hills and three sets of stairs in Capital Hill. Everything felt great. On Monday, I'm targeting to do a few bike/run bricks w/ 6 mile bike then 1.5 run and repeating that 3 or 4x.
When I first heard about the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, I thought the swim portion was absolutely insane and anyone who swam it was nuts. It's funny how things can change. One of my biggest fears in life is now one of my most incredible joys. This race (especially the swim) is truly the funnest, yet most challenging triathlon's, I've ever competed in. Below is my journal on the incredible experience. This year's race is on Sunday, June 10th, 2012.

Memorial Weekend Swim / Run Workout
Yesterday was an awesome training day. 75 degrees and sun in Seattle definitely added to the 'awesome' element. My friend Dave and I swam for about an hour in Lake Washington and for the first time, the water temp didn't even bother me. Dave's a great swimmer and provided me w/ a couple more tips (things that I seem to remember in the pool, but forget in open water), so it was great to have him there for the ride.
