Just updated the countdown on the upper right hand side of the site.
165 Days, 15 Hours, 49 Minutes until the race. Yeahhhhhhh!!!
Have yet to fork over the $400, but most certainly will do it by the Jan 15th cut-off.
Happy New Years to everyone and if you're not doing Alcatraz, it's the perfect time to set another type of physical goal/challenge for the 2009!
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.

2009 Escape from Alcatraz- Random Drawing Winner
I can't believe it. I got the lottery again! Yahooooooo!!! I'm so excited!!!
All the lottery winners are on the site now via this link.
Here's the email I just received:
Congratulations PERRY SJOGREN!
You are one of the exceptional triathletes that has been selected as a Random Drawing Winner for the 2009 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. As a Random Drawing Winner, you receive a slot in the 2009 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon to be held in San Francisco on June 14, 2009.
On June 14, you will get to jump off a perfectly good boat into the frigid water of the San Francisco Bay, swim with 2000 of your best friends from Alcatraz to Little Marina Green. You will climb out of the water and run (with or without shoes) one half mile to the transition area, jump on your bike and ride 18 miles (most people say that it is all up hill) and then run 8 miles under the Golden Gate Bridge, through the sands of Baker Beach, up the infamous sand ladder and back to Marina Green to the finish line. What a great way to spend the day!
