Shark Bite

Byjasperblake

I was swimming yesterday and had one of my “I’m freaked out in this place” sessions.  Murky water, debris that you run into and the mind starts playing tricks on you.  It’s my one weird phobia….sometimes I handle it well, sometimes I’m a chicken shit…..yesterday I was the latter.

Found out today that in the exact space I was swimming a dude got a hefty shark bite while swimming about 2 hours after I was out there.  The last 24 hours nobody has been in the water there.  So there giant world, I was right!  Sharks do bite people every single day in the ocean and we should be absolutely terrified of them ALWAYS.  Well, not entirely, I think it is very rare and I will likely go for a swim tomorrow just to spite the sharks.

I got my tires fixed today sort of.  We just filled them up with a ton of Stans and that seems to be a good temporary fix.  I feel completely disorganized here.  I had to recruit Kelly and Mel to bring me tires.  I figured a new set from home would do the trick but I am grossly underprepared equipment wise in mountain biking, still learning the basics.

I got nothin beyond that.

  10. I saw that shark attack on the news. As a duathlete entering triathlon, with a shark phobia, I will have a very hard time getting into salt water. I don’t know how everyone surfs and swims knowing they are out there.

    Stay safe.

  23. Jasper, what an adventure! I was always a little nervous swimming in Hawaii, but somehow the beautiful fish and turtles took my nervousness away, but then of course there’s Mike’s comments.
    Have a great race this weekend. If you’re allowed I’ll make sure you get some of my chocolate chip cookies when you get back. ( I think you might have to negotiate with Finn) Race hard and have fun
