THE ROUND THE ROCK ALCATRAZ CHALLENGE - August 6th, 2016
#4/5 Senior Master women about 2 hours for 10 miles around Alcatraz.
A photo from the last turn... still working hard!
The Women and Co-ed race started by about 10:45am.. It was a medium - long paddle to the start. We got there about 15 seconds before the race began. The run down to Alcatraz was fast, with the flood tide. Our Steersperson, Pat, turned on the buoy beyond Alcatraz masterfully. Then we fought the chop to the SF coastline. (I think it was Pier 29). We made our way up beyond Pier 39, the Jeremiah O'Brian, Aquatic Park, St Francis Yacht Club and what I thought was the end Buoy.. but no - we paddled back to where we started, near the Golden Gate Bridge. We had to fight flood back to the start.. Whew! By the time we turned around and headed to the Finish, we were all mostly TOAST!
