I did it!

Posted on June 8th, 2007 in Uncategorized by Karl

I escaped!  On Sunday, June 3rd, I completed the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon with a time of 3:23.  The most challenging part of the race was the swim.  Boy, was that water chilly!  55 degrees never felt so cold as it did when I jumped off the ferry into the San Francisco Bay at 7am last Sunday.  Luckily the current was helping me as I swam from Alcatraz to Chrissy Field.  After completing the 1.5 mile swim, the 18 mile bike and 8 mile run felt great.

The best news is that I was able to raise $10,000 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute to help support Dr. Ken Anderson’s research in Multiple Myleoma.  All the credit goes to very generous support from family and friends.  Thank you!
