When I first heard about the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, I thought the swim portion was absolutely insane and anyone who swam it was nuts. It’s funny how things can change. One of my biggest fears in life is now one of my most incredible joys. This race (especially the swim) is truly the funnest, yet most challenging triathlon’s, I’ve ever competed in. I decided to get it on film so I could share this amazing experience, give you a little bit of a feel of what it’s like to swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco AND show how I turned one of my biggest fears into one my greatest joys!

@derekpeterson1 yeah, a bit of panic set in 1/2 mile from shore when crowd was directly in front of me rather than to the right. I thought I was going to end up under the bridge, but didn’t turn out that bad. Hope you had a great race as well!
