I did it!! What an incredible experience. It went better than I ever imagined. The weather couldn't have been better, which made the swim truly enjoyable. During the swim I would take a 30 second break every 10 minutes and doing a full 360 degrees of the surroundings (Alcatraz, Golden Gate, San Francisco) and the view was absolutely surreal. I'll definitely write more later but I'm a bit tuckered as it's almost midnight and I've been up since 3:30am.
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.

That is awesome. Congratulations. I'll be checking your site for a race report. I want to hear more about it.
Congratulations! My 16yo son also finished yesterday. It was his dream as a new triathlete. He finished 3rd in his age group.
