Training for Alcatraz

Posted on April 16th, 2007 in Uncategorized by Karl

On Sunday, June 3rd at 7am I will be swimming in the chilly San Francisco Bay from Alcatraz to Marina Green.  The water will be 55 degrees, and there’s sure to be a stiff current.  It’s 1.5 miles from the jump off of the ferry to the shores of Chrissy Field.  I have been training for the last two months. I’d better be ready!!! 

Oh, yeah.  Once I finish the swim, I still have the bike and run ahead of me.  However, compared to the swim, those parts are easy…I think!

Here’s a map of the entire course: http://www.escapefromalcatraztriathlon.com/uploads/editor/docs/Documents/Escape2007_CourseMap.pdf
