Escape from Alcatraz

Team Finish Strong Racing athlete Linda Trinkle qualified and raced at Escape from Acatraz Triathlon in San Francisco on June 5. This daunting 1.5 mile swim, 18 mile bike, and 8 mile run is not for the feeble.

Linda competed and took 14th out of 57 in her 40-44 AG. She escaped from Alcatraz island by swimming the 1.5 miles to reach mainland in 42:03. Next she biked a hilly San Francisco course in 1:04:42 (16.7 mph pace). She finished the day by running the last 8 miles in 1:07:39 (8:28 per mile pace) for an overall time of 3:05:19.

Ask Linda about getting bumped during the swim by a sea lion!
