California heatwave
...means it's summer.
Woke up at nautical dawn, to go to the Marina and watch the swimmers arriving from Alcatraz Island — it's the first leg of the "Escape from Alcatraz" Triathlon, and they will be leaving the island at the 7:15 a.m. start time, and the first swimmers getting to the Marina beach around 30 minutes later. Well, depending on currents and conditions on the Bay... if wild and strong, it could take even the best swimmers longer! We'll see.
