Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon

What a great race! I got to work at the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon this past weekend in San Francisco. I went to a triathlon club party on Friday night on Hyde Street at an amazing apartment with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown. Then Saturday I was at the expo chatting with people about their racing experiences and Sunday I covered the race. Media personnel got to go out on a boat and witness 2,000 athletes jumping off a ferry and swimming to shore. I am signing up for the lottery next year because I want to do it. I was filled with raging jealousy for all those who got to participate.

Memorial Day Weekend




Friday: San Francisco

I went to San Fran to do a tv interview on the upcoming Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. I go back to San Fran tomorrow for the race :) Someday I will do it. Just working it this time.

Saturday: I spent the weekend in LA for the holiday. I ran 20 miles around Rose Bowl Stadium which was good and awful at the same time. Good because it was a change of scenery and saw some celebrities going undercover. Bad because running 20 miles is never fun. I also went to see my great uncle who lives nearby.

Sunday: Saw a fireworks show in La Canada, Calif.

Monday: Watched a hometown parade and went to a BBQ. Experienced Monday blues.
