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.

My Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon Swim in 6 Minutes!
I decided to video the swim this year. Definitely created a bit more of resistance having the camera strapped to me, but so fun to have it on video now!
Wow! You were the guy taping. Who knew? You can actually see me in the video at about 2:15, I have a green cap on & sleeveless wetsuit, holding on to the window. I wish I knew it was you. I told everyone - there was someone taping it! :)
Hey Jenn, that's awesome I got you in the clip. I just looked at it and there are you are...sweet! How did you do? Strong currents this year....overshot the finish a bit.
I finished. I was aiming for 4 hours, but was way over. Had to walk (my bag with running sneakers was misplaced) to the transition area (darn!) & then my bike chain fell on that big hill. It's ok, I did it!!!! It was a great race & everyone was so nice. Congratulations to you!!! :)
This is rad!!!! I've notice you with the camera on the boat and I've been looking on the web for this video ever since. I can finally show to my friends what is the real feeling of a the race. So glad I found it
Hey Mike, thanks for the note and so glad you like the video. That's awesome you spotted me on the boat and were able to find it on youtube. I just checked out your site and love it. Keep up the great work and hope to see you next year on the boat w/ our cameras in hand. Cheers!
