You have heard the stories, you’ve seen the movies, you know the infamous inmates, but NOW you can say your Dr. escaped Alcatraz!
There were doubters, but determination payed off as Dr. Ron faced his first open water swim. To celebrate turning fifty and fabulous the Dr. made plans to take on a 1.5 mile swim from the legendary island of Alcatraz in water that averages 60 degrees.
Some of the warnings listed in the race information included the following; not for novices, mild panic, hypothermia, tides, but honestly "sharks" had to be a concern for this Midwest native. None of those seemed to deter Dr. Ron from taking the personal challenge and gaining the experience of a lifetime. He finished his swim in 67 minutes and had one of the best views of San Francisco Bay.
We are all so proud of him, Way to Go!!
