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?

It`s been 6 months of training,...my hair is bleached from the pool,...I have lost 10 lbs, ( down to 179 ) and can CRUISE ,..not fast , but comfortably maintain a rate of speed that doesn`t leave me winded after a mile and a half,...... 45 minutes ( in a 25 yard pool ). I hate turnng around,..and am unable to master the flip-turn :^( . I swam around the Oceanside Pier in 23 minutes, wearing a wetsuit ( HOLY COW,..talk about floating), and truely love the Ocean. The swells and the breakers and the sneakers,..those waves that blindside you ,... make things interesting,..and I am learning to navigate. I swam thru a school of bait fish ,....it was absolutely exhilerating,..they were like a cloud of ...numbers, darting in concert.
Next month,...Alcatraz!!!
