Which goggles would you recommend for Alcatraz? I've been looking at the aquasphere mask type goggles. Would you recommend this type of goggle for the swim? I was told that larger goggles with a lot of plastic would pop off and not seal in cold water swims. Any hints on how to keep my goggles from fogging up?
Any other recommendations for Alcatraz would be greatly appreciated!
I don't think you need any special goggles. Whatever you normally use should work. I did the Alcatraz Sharkfest twice and used the same goggles I used in the pool - Tyr Racetech one year and Speedo the second year. Whatever you decide on, make sure that you use them a few times to get used to them.
I would recommend getting a clear pair and a tinted pair and break them both in. Then you can pick the pair that matches the race day conditions. I had good weather both times and used the tinted pair, but if it is gray or foggy you may want to have te clear pair available.
