Alcatraz Triathlon
The Alcatraz Triathlon takes place outside the famous San Francisco
prison. It is one of the most difficult triathlons in the world. This is the
fortieth year of the triathlon and now three Israelis came in second place
in the competition. Haim Gopher ran, Eran Levy was on the bike and Uri
Nitzan swam in the cold waters of San Francisco. When Alcatraz Prison
was active, many people tried to escape from it by swimming and did not
succeed. The three Israelis know each other from the army. They were
paratroopers. They trained for half a year for the competition.
