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?

Thanks for your words of encouragement and your advice.
I have a few questions. When you say..." I would suggest you get used to doing say 4x400s and watch the clock with a rest interval that you can tolerate."....are you saying swim 400 yards,...rest and then swim 3 more 400 yard sessions with rest in between every 400? I`m not familiar with the terminology.
Also,...I have a sleeveless wetsuit,...will it be enough for the Alcatraz swim? I have endured 63 degree water for 48 minutes.
Once again thank you sooo much for your words of wisdom, and I wish you well on your 18 miler!!!
