Alcatraz XXXIV Escape from the Rock - Duathlon (2014)

A return to Alcatraz swim after 3 years!

Just finished my 8th Alcatraz swim:
Still as slow as I was 13 years ago :)
Cool, overcast morning with light wind. While the water was a bit choppy at the start, it was not too bad...in fact, the water was awesome and not too cold at all - had to change direction to counter the tide towards the end and probably spent 4-5 mins swinging left of the Aquatic Park entrance. Felt strong and relaxed. The 7 mile run was good too, 00:54:25 about a 7:45 min/mile pace.
(volunteer horsing around at the turnaround point - Fort Point)

Left home at 4:40AM back at 10:40 - nice morning. Given the lack of training in July I was out like a light in the afternoon.
Results:

Felt good to be back!
