Race Report: 2026 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon
Welcome to The Rock.
If anyone had told me at any point in my life that I’d get seriously into triathlons in my forties, I probably would have died laughing. Like many, I bought a bike in 2020 to try to get in shape—and let’s just say things escalated quickly from there.
My name is Guillermo Esteves. I’m an age-group triathlete based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the heart of Grand Teton National Park. Although I’m still a beginner, I enjoy sharing what I learn during my training and races, paying it forward like many others have done for me along the way. Given to Tri is my triathlon blog, where I do exactly that. With multiple races of various distances scheduled over the coming months, I plan to keep swimming, cycling, and running for many years to come. I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
Welcome to The Rock.
I finished all three of my local half marathons for the first time, a neat little milestone.
I finished my tenth Ironman 70.3 with no regrets.
A solid result despite a sleepless night, a rough swim, and one judgmental cowboy.
