Jump, or we'll push you.

Sharkfest! Click for the full gallery.

A 1.4 mile swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco. Water temperature was 61 degrees but the weather could not have been better. Very little wind and no fog provided us with clear, calm conditions. The upside? We had a great time and all finished with a smile on our face and enjoyed Mimosas in the park afterwards. The downside? Brittany and I got wicked chaffing on our neck from the wetsuits…and we all got completely schooled by a 10-year old girl who finished in 36 minutes. Frankly, I think she cheated, but I’m unable to prove it.

Almost 1,000 people participated and no one got eaten by a shark. If you’re up for the task, sign up for 2010′s Sharkfest installment here. Full gallery here.
