Escape from Alcatraz 2006. 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the St. Francis Yacht Club, 18 mile bike through the Presidio and San Francisco hills, 8 mile run to Baker beach and back.
 

Suzanne runs the final miles of the 8 mile (mostly beach) run. The Golden Gate Bridge is in the background hidden by the fog.

Alcatraz Finish
The infamous Sand Ladder - a cruel challenge around the half way point of the run.

The biggest climb on the bike course is Seal Rock, from the beach all the way to the top of the Presidio.  I passed about 3 people on this hill!

Bright and early race morning.  This was the biggest transition area I've ever seen!

You can see the whole swim course in this photo.  It looks FAR!  Alcatraz is in the background just to the left of my helmet.  I'm standing right at the swim finish at St. Frances Yacht Club.
