This morning I headed to the pool. A gorgeous morning. Here is my view entering the park:
Sorry the clarity is crap, but that's my cell phone (I'm due for my "new every two," just can't decide...so many phones, so little time). I wore my wetsuit in the pool, which was really crowded this morning. I just decided to practice my sighting. It was laughable. There were no real lanes set up so people were swimming all over the place, although trying to swim a straight line. It was like the blind leading the blind. I had a couple of tangles with the lane lines as well (what is that strangling me?! Is it a jelly? Oh wait, this is the pool). Quite embarrassing. All in all it was a good swim.Yesterday out on Long Island a 26 ft. Basking Shark washed up on shore. Apparently, they only eat plankton and small fish. However, they are the largest fish, just after the Whale Shark swimming the ocean (Whales are mammals people!).
Still, if I saw this think swimming near me in the water, I would freak out. Poor thing.

When my body feels in that way I go to the thermal baths: warm water and relax work a lot.
I am an animalist and I am really sad for the poor Basking Shark.
Last friday I fought all the day because some workers, the day before, imprisoned a "family" of pigeons behind the nails used not to permit the birds to stand on the walls. The poor mom-pidgeon was getting crazy for the hunger. I spent all the day to solve the situation threatening all the people involved. At 08.00 p.m. the "family" got the freedom!
I too love animals. Thank goodness those pigeons had you as their advocate!!
thanks for the tip on the baths.
Hope your back is better. I think it was wise not to push things so close to your race and to try to be as healthy as possible by race day.
And that shark, oh my ... yes, it would certainly scare me if it swam alongside me. Shoot, even a playful 4-5 foot harbor seal scared me once.
