Alcatraz swim

So for those of you who don't know, my sister and I will be swimming the Alcatraz swim this Sunday. It's a 1.25 mile swim, where we'll jump from a ferry at Alcatraz and make our way back to San Francisco. Those who complete the swim in 45 minutes or more get their names on a plaque on the island. I've been training for the swim the past few months and feel prepared for it. I have set a goal of just finishing the race, because I want to take it all in. When will I ever get the opportunity to see the Bay Bridge, San Mateo Bridge, and possibly the Golden Gate from that vantage point? Life isn't about the trophies it's the experiences. But I have a feeling I'll be close to 45 minutes in the water. My parents and grandparents will be joining us on the ferry to take lots of pictures—so I'll have plenty to share with you. If you've ever thought of doing a swim like this let me know…I have a feeling I'll do something similar again. Love lots!
