Saturday, Race Day Eve
Today we hopped a boat to tour "the rock." It was neat to take a tour through the cell blocks, and I had no idea that the prison guards actually lived with their families on the island. You would have a hard time convincing me that it was a good idea to move my family to an island where the only thing on it was a maximum security prison! On another note, the island looked a lot closer from shore! Standing on Alcatraz, the shore seemed miles and miles away!!
After our tour, I went out for a little run and then we rode our bikes down to packet pick up and to check out the expo. I have to say, for such a big race, the expo was a let down. During the set-up, it looked like it was going to have such potential. Sad.
Our plan for today started out: take it easy, pick up our packets, get a good dinner, and get to bed early. I think we only accomplished 2 of those. After walking around the island all day, I had to take a couple Advil because my feet were killing me, and an 8pm bedtime somehow turned into 11pm. It's hard to balance race and vacation!

- Sunday, June 14th, Jamey, Mark, and I will be escaping from Alcatraz Island. The water is cold, the hills are steep, and lets face it, the run is going to suck. As if that were not punishment enough, we will then head down the coast to L.A. on our bikes. Oh what fun it is to ride.......
