As an early birthday present I opened my email yesterday & found the "Congratulations" email from the race director for the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. What to do? What to do? I was shocked last year that I got in. This year, I'm not sure what to do.
Last year it was totally overwhelming to me to think that I would fly out to California to swim with the sharks in the San Francisco Bay. Now I'm wondering, should I do it again?
I am 75/25. That's a weird percentage, right? Most people are usually 50/50 about doing things. My only apprehension is the cost. $400 for the race & about $2,000 for the week trip to California. & to be honest, the weather in San Francisco is awful! Nothing like getting on the plane in Newark where the weather is 97 with 90% humidity to 60 degrees & well, clammy! How do people do it? It's a great place to visit, if you don't mind being damp all the time.
The main reason I want to go back is to beat my lame ass time from last year. No mishaps, no lost sneakers & no broken bike chain. That should take at least 45 minutes off my 2011 time.
If you have any thoughts or comments on whether or not I should go back to SF, please share them! I need help making up my mind this year!
