Escape from Alcatraz 2010 ... -8 hours


So let me recap the next hours... want to make sure I dont forget anything vital.

In 4 hours I will be waking up. Get some food ( I actually ate all I had in the fridge plus one full bag of Granola and 1 liter of milk )... make a quick check of all the gears, tools, drinks, bags, transition accessories, etc.. Finally out of the door at 5.20am.

I will be meeting my Tri-And-Not-Only friends Diego and Dario at 5.30am.

Between 5.45am and 6.15am we will be setting up all the gears at the transition area. Rack the bike... give the T1 bags to the track and finally on the bus for the boat by 6.30am. 6.45am will should be on the boat.

On the boat there will be at least 1hr of time to put the wetsuit on, cap, goggles, lubs and get some final instructions about waves, current, tides, directions etc.

8.06am should be my time... I will try to jump with D&D all together, the chip timing should start when you jump... so no rush... I will let the elite warm up the water for the first 5 mins.

Ok recap done.

My day was crazy this Saturday, most importantly I was able to test the water in the bay. Crazy cold but bearable after all.

Tomorrow I will have so many people ( hopefully ) coming and cheering for us that I already know it would be a wonderful day. I wish to see ReiRei there or my middle brother, next time... next time.

BBQ in the already announced warm Sunday afternoon for anybody showing up ( that I can recognize :-) ).

Now time to sleep... 4hrs are still good 4hrs. If I only could stop thinking about this bloody race.

Cmon BumbleBee... I Believe I can fly....
