Well, the Alcatraz swim on Saturday was a success. The conditions were good and the water was a "comfortable" 64 degrees. Tyler and Christian, both wearing just speedos, did awesome! Tyler finished the 1.5 mile race in just under 33 minutes (first in his age-group for non-wetsuit males), and Christian came running through the finish 3 minutes later (pretty good for a guy who didn't train a single day! unless you count surfing...).
Mom and dad left at 4 am to catch the race; I happened to run into them on the street after I dropped the guys off for check-in - I didn't know they were on their way - so it was a pleasant surprise/coincidence. We went up and had breakfast overlooking the bay/Alcatraz while the swimmers were ferried out to the starting point. We made it back to Aquatic Park right as the first swimmers were approaching the finish.
What a cool weekend! I only wish Erin was there to share it with us!
