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.

Great Training Day!
Today I pushed it good! Did a brick of bike to run. I haven't taken the bike to the road yet, but have been hitting it hard in spin class. I kept the heart rate high and cranked with the cadence for one hour. I then had a fast clip run for 7 miles and then finished it off with 10 minutes of stairs. Yesterday was a good day in the pool too. Mile swim took 28 minutes, 36 seconds and I felt like I could have easily done another half at that same place. We'll go for the 1.5 mile next week. Wooohooo!!!
