phone call from home

my dad called me friday night after seeing the very sad news reports about the swimmer in san diego getting killed by a shark while training for a triathlon. since i am doing a triathlon in may, my dad was concerned for my safety.

i told him that i thought a shark attack was pretty unlikely in the bartlett high school pool, but that i would exercise heightened vigilence.

i don't think it made him feel better when i told him that i was actually much more likely to get killed by a moose or a bear during my triathlon....
