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?

Ron,
You will love it if you do Alcatraz! Yes, we were a little scared. I did a bunch of other open water swims this year to get ready for this race. The more races you do the more comfortable you get. I also swim with a master's team 2 or 3 times a week, and that has really helped me. I wore a wetsuit, but I think I would have been able to do it without. I am hoping to do it again in a couple years without my wetsuit. The water was 62 degrees.
Good luck.
Happy Laps!
