Another Year, Another Alcatraz Swim
Nicole and Franklin after Franklin's swim this morning
Last year we did a post on Franklin after he completed his 1.5-mile swim in from Alcatraz. Well, another year has gone by, but the story is the same.
Franklin finished this year's swim in just over an hour this morning. The race, dubbed the "Swim with the Centurions," draws hundreds of swimmers each year in this swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park in San Francisco, CA.
Full event details (including race results):
Let's give it up for Franklin in comments. Another year, another swim down!

Congratulations Franklin. I remember doing that swim 14 years ago. It was my first time swimming open water, so I had no idea how to navigate with the tide. I drifted way downstream and ended up having to backtrack up Municipal Pier to enter Aquatic Park. My other memory of this is how my face was numb for some time after.
Nice work, Franklin! It must have been a nice day for a swim!
Amazing! Btw, you two make a very aesthetically pleasing couple - great pic.
That is an impressive swim in very cold water, strong currents, and nasty tasting salt water. Strong work Franklin!
Awesome work Franklin. You move fast on 2 wheels and the open water!
Where were all the other Alcatraz swimmers yesterday?
Nice job on the swim Franklin!
B, thanks for taking me past my comfort zone and re-defining my threshold yesterday.
Manwell, keep that talk in the bedroom.
Nice work Franklin. Superman!
this budding bromance is so entertaining...
Looking for a last-minute partner for making up yesterday's WOD @ the 4pm class today...
Manwell. That. Was. Creepy.
Why do comments need a title? This is not email! Why do I need to read a title (in bold no less) then "submitted by" then the time and date before I can even get to the point?
is
weird.
MJJ, you better come back to CFO. I think Brandon is tactfully seducing Manwell out of your arms.
MJJ, I put titles in there just to piss you off. If you don't fill one in, your computer will a-splode. Nice work, Franklin. If you think that swim will help your Helen time, you are sadly mistaken.
Nicole -
I think it might be easier if you could just let us know what Franklin CAN'T do.
Franklin-- Impressive work. You do seem to be the man of many talents! When will we hear about you on the race track?
Kim-- about your elbow pain, there is an article on the NYTimes about treatment here.
MJJ--I miss you and your silly posts.
