No News: Andy Potts wins the Escape from Alcatraz.
No News: Jenny Fletcher wins her Age group at the Escape from Alcatraz.
News: 3 minutes before the XTERRA race started, Conrad sliced open the top of his foot shuffling across the bottom of the James River while helping to put a course buoy back in place. This resulted in a HUGE flesh wound on his foot. After the race it got fixed with 7 stitches. But before that Conrad did race, got some first aid during the first transition, soaked his running shoe in blood and finished FIRST!
TRAIN SMARTER, RACE HARDER! Congrats Conrad, you are amazing!

NEWS: Andy Potts is now three times Champion of the Escape from Alcatraz. Andy won the last three events ('07, '08 and '09). Congratulations Andy, three times is legacy!
Andy put in a solid race and not only had the best swim leg as usual but also had the fastest run and the second fastest bike leg. 
But up the famous Sand Ladder Andy (07 in 50 sec) lost 1 minute to fellow Suunto athlete Jenny Fletcher (6 min 54 sec). We are investigating this fact and will share more insight soon!
Jenny won her age group in 2 hours 38 minutes which puts her also in the top rank of all non-pro female and Top 9 in the pro field. HEY USAT it's time for the pro card for Jenny! Check out Jenny's blog where she describes her life: "I'm having a blast on this journey!"
