I had an easy weekend planned as part of my recovery week from San Diego but the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon was this weekend. One of the most popular, non-Ironman distance tri's in the country, Escape sells out, has a lottery system and is limited to 1800 participants. If they had a bigger boat they could have more participants. Anyway I came out to volunteer just a little bit on Saturday morning, wanted to hang with Samantha and Jessica who were running registration but ended up coming back today for more volunteering. I can't help it. Maybe it's a sickness, I thrive being around active people. I'll tell you guys more about it later but for now check out these two videos. I'm not big on swimming especially the pool but I like open water swims and it is an unfulfilled dream of mine to swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco. One day, maybe when I return to triathlon.
I apologize. The sound is a little loud, you may want to turn down your speakers.

My money is on Jurek. The guy who knows the course like the back of his hand and who is still fast after all these years.
ReplyDeleteI would never open swim out there. That is nuts. I thought it was infested with sharks.
