This week on The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Sara Forhetz returns to share her incredible experience racing the legendary Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco. Known for her openness about her faith and her journey as an accomplished athlete, Sara dives into what makes this bucket-list race so unique — from its random-entry lottery system to its full-Ironman-level price tag.
Despite being a confident swimmer, Sara faced a near-drowning incident during training, which led her to lean on co-host Ashley for support and encouragement. On race day, she embraced the challenge, even opting to rent a traditional road bike instead of traveling with her time trial setup.
Sara’s verdict? This race is tough, unforgettable, and absolutely worth it. In fact, she’s ready to sign up again next year — but only if Mike or Ashley takes the plunge, too!
