Escape from Alcatraz is closed out for May 2010....that's ok, I'm not really ready for that just yet. The SF Alcatraz is in August, exactly one week after my 70.3 Ironman. Clearly not going to be able to do that. But what about next year? Oh why does this stuff always happen to me? I hate making decisions! I think what it is going to come down to next year is getting into the Escape lottery. The SF Alcatraz still has open registration going on now for August.
I suppose in the big scheme of things, there really isn't much difference. I mean, it's practically the same exact length.....and I'm sure the San Francisco bay is a lot warmer in August (hopefully) than it is in May. I'm probably even crazy for even considering doing something like this, but hey what the hell! I've even ordered the book - Alcatraz Swimmers Manual. I can't wait to get it! & yes, thanks to my sister & the brat I know that there are sharks in the water. No need to keep bringing that up, I heard you both the first 100 times. But there are 2,000 swimmers. I'm sure that makes my attack odds much better. I'll stay on the inside of the pack! Ha ha!
All of this would be great if I had gotten up & gone to the gym tonight, but I just didn't feel like it & had zero motivation. Tomorrow it's going to be almost 60 degrees & I'm going to head down to Spring Lake for a long run on the boardwalk with the WOPR!
