The race is two days away. I’m getting fairly anxious at this point. Alcatraz has always been visible during my commute but lately seems further from shore and larger then I remembered.
Yesterday was last swim before the race. My conditioning today is what it will be on race day. No better no worse. The mental aspect of the race has already begun.
Below is the official event schedule. We are planning a BBQ at my house sometime after the event. I'll post details tomorrow.
