Escape from Alcatraz..... Im in, now what?

A couple of weeks ago, I foolishly read MJ's blog and decided to click on a link, which took me here and then I clicked the enter button for the lottery for one of the coolest tri's in the US, and today, I got this email (below) ..... DAMN! Now I have to train for a super hard race with no flat sections to speak of....

Congratulations DARREN SMITH!

You are one of the exceptional triathletes that has been selected as a Random Drawing Winner for the 2009 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. As a Random Drawing Winner, you receive a slot in the 2009 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon to be held in San Francisco on June 14, 2009.

We recommend that you register right away to make sure that you are able to complete the process, don’t wait until January 9. On June 14, you will get to jump off a perfectly good boat into the frigid water of the San Francisco Bay, swim with 2000 of your best friends from Alcatraz to Little Marina Green. You will climb out of the water and run (with or without shoes) one half mile to the transition area, jump on your bike and ride 18 miles (most people say that it is all up hill) and then run 8 miles under the Golden Gate Bridge, through the sands of Baker Beach, up the infamous sand ladder and back to Marina Green to the finish line. What a great way to spend the day! If you need any assistance please e-mail registration@escapefromalcatraztriathlon.com and give us a description of what you need and we will have someone contact you.
We look forward to seeing you in June,

So, now Im trying to figure how Im going to do this since Stacey has Boise 70.3 on her schedule and it coincides with EFA.... Not only that but this is a hell of a race, no AWAD category so Im going AG but it wouldnt matter anyway, looks like for me, its going to be a survival thing.

Running on the beach with my ankle might be a tough one, climbing stairs, riding up silly 18% hills could be tough on me. It might be my A race for the year for triathlon at least since I want to be a bike racer next season and try and make the Canuck team. Who knows, but I really want to do this race so Im hoping I can do it.
