YIKES! Did you guys see that a shark attacked a swimmer in Solana Beach (San Diego) and he got his legs basically bit off and died?

This is certainly tragic for the victim, who I believe was a retired veterinarian - Ironic, isn't it that he spent his life helping animals? This appears like a classic case of mistaken identity, which most shark bites are. There are a lot of Califonria Sea Lions in California (although I don't know if they are found in San Diego) and they are a favorite target of great whites.

But, to keep this in perspective: 5 people / year die from shark bites in the US while 15,000+ people die from a drunk driver.

I have seen a few small sharks out surfing and a caught a few fishing. I feel sharks get a bad wrap sometimes. They are just doing what comes naturally to them really

I ****ing love swimming. It beats any of the cardio machines you can use at the gym.

But I only swim in the winter, cause by then the cycling season is over, so it's somewhat of a love-hate relationship.

swimming is good

This is why swimming is sweet

I totally I agree with you both!

And I mean it!!!

Thanks for the post! I am just curious, would you recommend swimming a few laps after lifting weights, or not? Even if it is just a few laps.

Sure! I think that's a great cooldown.
