Shark Week

There were so many sharks on Monday, we had to get back out today with the underwater camera and see what was up. Seriously, Monday we saw 4-10 ft. sharks all over the place. At any given time when looking down, you could see 2-8 sharks swimming right under you. Unfortunately (sort of), we hardly saw any today and captured none on film. Oh well, next time!

A Long Day

Started the day with a little Crossfit and finished with some basketball...

CFSB WOD – 11.2.09

Power Clean 3×4: 115# x 4, 155# F, 135# x 4

2K Row for time: 7:02

Men shoot for sub 7:00 minutes and women shoot for sub 8:45 minutes. Pace yourself to make sure you have enough gas for the last 500M.

The row kicked my ass. Shooting for sub 7 means averaging 1:45/500M throughout. That is hard. I think people would find it hard to pull a a 1:45 500, but averaging it over 2K - DAMN! Then again, I was able to manage a 7:02 on my first row for time in a competitive setting. So it's probably good that it was hard as fuck.

After that madness, I went swimming with some sharks. The intent was to go surf at El Porto, but the hundreds of leopard sharks seen below the surface threw my concentration for some reason. Everyone was talking about them in the lineup and you couldn't go more than 5 minutes without seeing 1-10 sharks below you. And they weren't small! Anywhere between 4-10 ft. I wish I was exaggerating. Good session!

And to finish off the day, a basketball league game. It was probably my best game to date. 2 pts, 4 boards, 1 assist and some good things happening that don't show in the boxscore. I felt much more confident in general. Hopefully that will continue through the rest of the season and into the playoffs if we make it.
