Hi Everybody!
DianaC and I did the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim on September 16th. It was a great race. We both completed it. My time was 56:20.1 for 1.5 miles. We had a beautiful day for the swim. The view was great. I highly recommend it. For info about the race and results, check out http://www.envirosports. We met so many great people. Anyone else go to the race?

I was only been swimming regularly for 4 years. I swim a couple of days a week at a fitness club, usually swimming a half mile each session. It takes me 45 minutes to swim a mile in a 25 yard pool. Three times I`ve swam around the Oceanside Pier ( 1 mile race) in California . The first time was 32 minutes in 70 degree water,,,the second year the water was 63 degrees and I wore no wetsuit,...48 minutes later I finished. The latest swim I did in 31 minutes in 68 degree water. I have an obsession to do the Alcatraz swim next June. Is it too much for my experience,...how should I train?
Thanks Ron
