    Escape from Alcatraz

    I made it! The Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon was everything I hoped it would be; tough, fast, exciting. Hotter than I would have liked, but an absolutely great race. This is my full report of the lead up to the race, the race itself and the journey home.

    Happy New Year

    I'm all in for Alcatraz; god help me. 8th of June I'll be jumping off a boat off into the Pacific for a leisurely swim from the famous island to San Francisco followed by a bit of a cycle and a run. Grand stuff.
