Houdini would be proud........... Handcuffed Man Swims From Alcatraz to SF By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO - A handcuffed fitness expert defied chilly waters and swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco in an effort to raise funds for diabetes research. It took Brian Friedman, 54 minutes, 20 seconds to complete his stunt titled "Escape from Diabetes." "People with diabetes often feel they are shackled by the disease," he said Wednesday after completing the 1 1/2-mile stunt in 50-degree water. In addition to the cuffs, he was wearing a T-shirt, black Spandex shorts and a red swim cap. Friedman, 42, doesn't have diabetes but swam in honor of his grandfather, who lost both legs to the disease and died in 1988. Friedman has his own personal training business, Training on the Beach, based in Alameda.
