Alcatraz 04

whoops - looks like you beat me to it, ironclm

What a day - blue skys, calm water (59 degrees!) and some fierce competition. Simon Lessing and Michellie Jones took top pro honors with course record times (1:54 and 2:08) respectively (the swim course was about 10 min faster than the results I see from last year!) My first try at the race - I definitely under-estimated the difficulty of the run. The sand ladder is worse than imagined. And no one warned me about the two-way run traffic on the single track trails! It was a great experience overall however, very unique. Too bad I don’t have access to these hills on a daily basis…

Other thoughts?

For a first timer, you did well with an age group win and 12th overall (non pro)! I was sixth (I think) in my race on Saturday, but there were only 700 or so people, and many of them were racing for Team in Training in their first triathlon.

We’ll talk when you get back into town.
