2011 Race: It was an amazing day, and almost perfect in every respect. There were 50 individuals and 10 relay teams. Except for one participant, everyone finished the event! Joel Lanz set a new record with most 1st place finishes at 6 in 3:37. Laurel Condro, also a South Ender came in 1st on the women's side with a 5:04 for her second 1st place finish. The 1st place relay team was won by the South End team of the "Formerly Fast Guys" comprised of Vince Fausone, Jeff Gunderson and John Kaplanis. Results are available now. 2010 Race: Some years are better than others, but mostly they are really fun! Joel and Michelle take the pain out of having a South End best the Dolphin Club for 1st Place. Kudos to both of them for simultaneously tying first place records (see all results), next year will take some big time DC guns to make a change in this category! It would take special talent all around to beat a class act on on both Michelle and Joel! Amazing races for both of you; Michelle beat out Joel and everyone else on the swim with a slow time for her of 36:13 (her best 31:13), she was ahead of Joel coming into Mill Valley by 13:15. Joel came into MV in 7th place, 13 minutes and 15 seconds behind Michelle. Somehow Joel proved that all of that ultra-running he has been doing paid dividends, by Stinson Beach turn-around he was 5 minutes behind Michelle and ended up passing her and finishing at 3:41 with Michelle coming in 2nd at 4:11. Michelle and Joel are such amazing athletes and competitors! We are very happy to have them be a part of the DC Escape even though they belong to the South End! My apologizes to the Relay Teams. The actual 1st place was the Volante Canards with Steve Anderson, Joan Francis and Harold Cranston. 2nd place goes to Bonnie and Clyde with Bonnie Brown, Jeff Brown and Clyde Barrow (aka Tom Wilhelm). More details of the day to come...... 2009 Race: What a great day! Joel Lanz wins his 4th Escape in a row with a time of 3:32 and once again Nobu comes in 2nd place at 4:03:14. Michelle Deasy takes 1st place for the women (3rd time in a row) with a 4:29:48! Thanks to all who participated and a very special thanks to all of the many volunteers, timers, pilots, swimmer helpers, traffic helpers, bike handlers, aid station folks, bartenders, cooks, kitchen help, servers and more who made this event the very best event to participate in. We are in the process of getting all of the information together for posting. Please be patient. Here is a list of volunteers. If you helped out and your name is missing, please send me an email and let me know, sunny@dcefat.com. The easier part was getting the results up, thank you Meg, Pete and Kate for your hard day at Mill Valley, which for once was the best place to be because of the heat! Here are the 2009 race results!
Overview: Welcome to the Dolphin Club Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon information site. We have developed this site as a way to keep all of the Dolphin Club and South End members up to date on the necessary information, training events, registration forms and contact data regarding the triathlon. We have also included a section that has all the historical results and photos from past events. We welcome additional photos from previous races. The 2009 (September 26, 2009) race will be the 29th running of the Dolphin Club Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon-the original ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ. Your participation in this event will be an experience to remember. This race is one of the oldest traditions in the sport of triathlon. In addition, it is a great opportunity for both the Dolphin and South End Clubs to experience a challenging day together. We welcome your participation and want to encourage as many members as possible from both clubs to enjoy this grand sporting event. This event would not be possible without the many volunteers that turn out each year. If you don’t participate in the race, please consider volunteering or piloting. You must be a member of either club for at least 6 months to participate in the swim portion of the race. In order to expand the participation from both clubs we are encouraging relay teams that can be comprised of 2, 3, or 4 participants. The categories of results that will be recognized at the post race banquet have been significantly expanded. Everyone that completes the event will be recognized at the banquet. Individuals that complete the full event will receive a commemorative brass belt buckle and a special t-shirt. Finishers may also purchase or receive a distinctive Escape From Alcatraz lapel pin instead of their belt buckle. Any questions, please email: sunny@dcefat.com | ||
