Sacramentans Fare Well in Escape From Alcatraz and Dipsea Races

 

VICTOR PLATA

The very name "Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon" sounds rigorous, and it is. But for Victor Plata, a professional traithlete who is studying at the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento,  it was easily conquered.

Plata finished fifth in the elite pro division of the 1.5-mile swim (from Alcatraz to the Bay), 18-mile hilly bike ride and 8-mile run (including the 400 steep "sand ladder" steps) with a time of 2 hours 13 minutes 52 seconds.

Originally from Santa Cruz, Plata moved to Sacramento for law school. He competed for the U.S. in the 2004 Olympic Games in the traithlon, finishing 27th. Read more about Plata here.

Meanwhile, just across the bay in Mill Valley, the annual (and also grueling) Dipsea race -- a 7.4-mile age-handicapped run from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach over Mount Tamalpais -- saw Sacramentan Iain Mickle, 48, finish 18th at 53 minutes (actual time 57:12). It was the fifth straight year Mickle, a Sacramento lawyer, finished in the top 35, earning the coveted black shirt.

For a complete report on the Dipsea, read Thursday's Outbound section in The Bee.
