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?

Newbie follow up from Sharkfest June 10th - Perfect weather, great swim, crazy fun. Loved the jump from the boat! Minimal bumps and kicks, everyone spread out quickly. Nice assist from big Coast Guard wake half way thru swim. Yee-haw! Thank you!
Sighted extra bit to the left and made it to Aquatic Park opening no problem. Cheering spectators on end of pier and awesome view of GG Bridge, well, I had to stop and take it all in. Elated! Big finish...enough energy to sprint by some beefy guys (ego boost) and stagger up the sand to my trusty landshark friends. Time: 48 min 04 sec - goal was to beat an hour! Wooo-hooo!
Ate. Slept. Called my God-fearing Mother, who was absolutely horrified by my feat. But Mom, it was FUN! She replied: Choir practice is fun!
I am SO doing this again! Cheers!
