Sunday funday in San Diego

Today started out as good as it could. Woke up, knocked back a few cups of Jo, and killed 6 blueberry muffins that I made last night. Then it was off to Carlsbad to swim buddy at the Triathlon at Tamarack. The swim was a 1000 meter swim and I was only able to help two people get thru the race because both were swimming so slow that all the waves passed them by. However they really proved alot to themselves by sticking it out. My new friend and fellow swim buddy Beth was at the race to help out as well and we had some good laughs during the last swim lap. Job well done, and time to go to some swimming for myself.

I met up with Shelby around 11am and we headed down to the cove and swam to La Jolla Shores. When we got there we ran over to the Shores hotel and grabbed a few towels. The water was about 70F and the weather was amazing! Shelby got the great idea to run over to Surf Diva and get some foam boards and go surfing. We both grabbed these 8'0 Gordon and Smith soft boards and headed down to the surf. I couldnt figure out why but many of the women on the beach were fixated on me after I dropped my towel on the sand. (On second thought maybe it was the fact that I was wearing a 70's disco print speedo in southern california) Brad Golden = no shame. We headed out speedo and all and caught a few really fun 2' waves on these wacky boards. After scaring most of the people who watched me surf in my 70s banana hammock, i decided to call it and we dropped the boards off and swam back to the cove. On our way over there we swam over like 30 nurse and leopard sharks and it was pretty awesome to watch from 12 feet above. (Shelby would beg to differ) haha. So for some reason we got back to the cove much faster than we got to shores. I wonder why...

Such a good day today. I love La Jolla in the summertime. I gotta go get some food for the week, I cleaned out the fridge this weekend. Big time training starts tomorrow.
