Byron was selected to compete in the prestigious Escape from Alcatraz triathlon June 2008. It is a very rigorous course where he will swim across the San Francisco Bay from a boat near Alcatraz Island to SF for 1.5 miles in cold current filled water then bike 18 miles (what seems to be mostly uphill) and then run 8 miles through the trails of the Golden Gate recreation area (again what seems to be uphill).
See the video from last year.
Sounds rather gruelling. Is there no escape from the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon? ;-)
