Some info on the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon for those who might be
unfamiliar with the event.  Don't let others fool you into thinking it's
just another of those SWIM/BIKE/RUN events that any wimp can do.  This
race is a thinking persons race and calls for a lot of ingenuity.  It
may be helpful to watch the movie of the same name and learn how to make
masks of your face before signing up for the race.

Competitors start in one of the cells in the prison building on Alcatraz
Island.  It's a little different than most triathlons, as I have outlined
below:

	1-DIG:	You must dig your way out of the cell without being caught
		by the prision guards, who are, by the way, the toughest
		guards in the U.S. Penitentiary system.  I suggest giving
		yourself a few days to do this.

	2-DASH:	From your cell it is a 100-yard dash to the shoreline.  It
		is not a straight path, though, as you must travel through
		utility halls and other hidden ways before leaving the
		building and getting out into the open of the prision yard.
		Be careful, as the rocky surface can be very slippery in the
		humid and rainy conditions prevalent in the San Francisco
		Bay.  You also want to avoid the spotlights so the guards
		in the gun towers do not mow you down with their machine guns.

	3-DIVE: Once you reach the shoreline you must dive into the Bay.
		Because you will most likely be making your "escape" at
		night, it is a good idea to have scouted out and become
		familiar with the "course" before this.  That way you
		will know exactly where to dive in and avoid all those
		shallow areas that could put a quick end to your race.
		Wetsuits are allowed, if you can find a way to smuggle one
		into your cell.  It is suggested by the race organizers
		that you do this as the water temperature is in the 50
		degree F range.  Navigating will be tricky, due to the
		choppy waves.  If you are really good, you will have timed
		your escape to coincide with a moonless or cloudy night,
		which will help to cover your route.  From the island, it
		is a short 1.5 mile swim to shore.  Once on shore, you
		will be given your finisher's medal, a rock.  That is,
		if you make it that far by avoiding the prision guards,
		bullets, sharks, and boat traffic while treading water.

Good luck to everyone planning on doing the "race"!  8^)

Sean,

I too am interested in the alcatraz race and would be very interested
in doing a practice ride/run with you when you go.  I have never entered
the race and have not competed in any race of that length but I have been
training and hope to make it my big race of next season.

I was about to purchase a the Hed Disk for my time trial bike until I discoveredthat it had the same performace as my Uni stealth disk cover.  The first time
on the Hed was my usual 30KM bike run, and to my surprise, my average speed
was only 1/2 faster than usual.  I was expecting at least a 1 2/2 - 2 mile
average speed.  So I tried that same course again, ditto.  And to top it off I
felt much stronger up big hills due to fact that the disk cover is so much
lighter than the Hed.  My current config. on the bike is a 26 inch Aerospoke
wheel for the front and a 700c for the rear, I also added Scott Air Wave bars 
for even more speed.  I just thought that adding a real disk would make the
world of differnce, I shouldn't thought like that anymore!  So I guess I'll
go with that old saying "if it aint broke, don't fix it."  So what do you all
think, any comments, bitches, moans or complaints?

No, that is called anaerobic threshold.  Your body starts to accumulate
lactic acid at 60% to 90% of VO2 max, depending on your fitness level.
You cannot maintain a level above anaerobic threshold for more than a
few minutes because of muscle fatigue.

VO2 max is your maximum oxygen uptake.  A value of 40 milliliters per
kilogram of body weight per minute is typical.  Elite athletes may
have a VO2 max of 75-80 ml/kg/minute.  At VO2 max, you will quickly
accumulate lactic acid and be forced to slow down after 1 or 2 minutes.

Both VO2 max and anaerobic threshold can be increased with aerobic
exercise near their respective limits.  The reason that anaerobic
threshold is not 100% of VO2 max is because the fast twitch muscles
(which produce lactic acid) start to fire before all of the slow
twitch (oxygen using) fibers fire.

When I was a graduate student at Texas A&M University, for the last couple of
years HED would send a technical team with a triathlete like Mike Pigg to 
perform a series of test at the university's wind tunnel.  They tested their
equipment and some competetors (I believe) as well as the best bike frame and
body position.

If I remember correctly, most of their and others work were proprietary.
However, if you contact HED or the people at Texas A&M who run the wind tunnel
(the Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Departments I think), they might be 
able to tell you about any published papers on their tests.

Good luck.

Well, the purpose of a disk is to eliminate the turbulence due to the spokes.
A cover can do this just as well as a "real" disk can.  A Uni-disk might be
slightly less efficient than a "real" disk because the spokes make impressions
through the fabric, but this effect has to be very minimal.  Also, the most
efficient shape for a disk wheel is a "lens" shape, but it's just slightly
better than a "flat" shape like the Uni.  Plus, the uni is so much lighter
than a real disk that on any course that's not in Kansas I'd rather use
a cover.

Curtis, you've just hit on what could be the next great gimmick
in professional wrestling.

Dress Erik Watts up as Nepo Man, the defender of and benefactor from
the family name. He could tag with Dustin Rhodes as the Nepo Men.

Nah, it'd never work. No talent, it's a lame gimmick, no charisma,....


Why do I have this sick feeling that Dustin and Watts are going to

How about:

Madusa interfers in a Rude/Simmons match, giving Simmons a karate kick
(a boot to the head.)  Simmons, being the first black world champ,
offers Madusa the chance to become the first woman to wrestle for
the World Heavyweight Championship...

IMHO: that would make a good angle and gives you two good PPV main events.
(That is, if Madusa is able to carry Simmons in the ring :)

Er, you're confusing baseball and rasslin'.

Robby Thompson is the San Francisco (NOT Tampa/St. Petersburg) Giants' second 
baseman.  Robby Walker is the new guy in WCW who's buddies with the Champ.

What I hate about Walker's presence is the commentators' constant
blathering that he has no experience, when in reality he has at least
a year or so I know of as Hurricane Walker in FL.
