Sharkfest Alcatraz Swimfest

Bookmark and Share

I just registered for the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim in 2010. It's a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz to the mainland through shark infested waters. And I convinced Summer to do it with me. Does that make me a bad parent?

For some strange reason, this swim landed on my life goal list the second I heard about it. Just seems like a crazy thing to do. And it'll be an amazing shared goal and shared experience with my daughter. Honestly, I'm less concerned about her than I am about me. She's a dolphin in the water. Me on the other hand? Well, think doggy-paddle.

WOW!

That is a crazy swim Mark! Was just there on the Blue Line ferry that goes around Alcatraz. You better dog paddle fast or that current is going to take you out to sea! Sharkfest did not make my "bucket list"... but you have to come climb with us on Peak Challenge some year..

I love reading of Christians that attempt crazy physical - endurance - like challenges. Good for you!
