Young swim-run duo posts solid result in Alcatraz Aquathon
ALL |
Team Tough Truckee Chicks proved their name was more than just a clever title.
Competing in a cold and nasty Alcatraz Aquathon in the San Francisco Bay this past weekend, Brittany Percin, 12, and Camille Hartley, 13, held their own with a third-place finish out of 12 relay teams in their division. There were 784 participants altogether.
In 55-degree water chopped up by a 12-mph wind, Percin swam 1 1/2 miles without a wetsuit from Alcatraz to Crissy Field in a time of 42 minutes, 51 seconds.
Hartley, under a steely gray sky, then ran 7 miles from Crissy Field across the Golden Gate Bridge and back in a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes, 36 seconds to finish the race.
