people in the place: wednesday desperation swim with fred, marta, lftc, 11:30 swam to the 1/2 after launching in rough and tumble BIG high tide, zero zero viz but temps were 70, 72. bath tub water. at the 1/2 we decided to go to the a but holy cow was it dark red over there, big fat red and juicy. i had bad vibes over and to distract myself i kept thinking about cami and how she would have seriously been on one of our backs to get out of this stuff, maybe even crying. in the mean time i totally raced off course back into the cove. relief! what was that about? where? why? after fred left us marta and i had some food, checked out our cutie guards, analyzed their workout habits (all of thses boys spend time in the gym) and watched tourists get knocked down, dragged around and generally get mugged by the surf. marta laughed and laughed-she likes this type of humor, you have been warned-don't fall down!
after i was home all relaxed and sated with my fix, marta calls me to let me know that the cove was closed! shark! so we were swimming with a shark, close by, in zero viz. we are brave and tough swimmers! so what if we didn't know until after our swim, it was there and we lived! i knew something was up when i was in the R&J, i felt more weird than usual. this news was so exciting to me, i passed it on to a few special people, ethan, who we bumped into (swimming with an ironman hottie, way to go, ethan) cami, doug who was in the water earlier, and diana d who was on the fence about heading out for a swim the moment i called her (pushed her back). i was so happy my swim was done and over, i needed it and even if i heard sharks were right in the cove i would have tried to swim somewhere, i was desperate. eyes open, watch the surface!
thanks to my swim peeps for an awesome swim! another day, no prison. aahh!
lftc-out
