I was fortunate enough to have a good friend ask me to join her in getting her scuba license. Which, really, did she even need to ask. It was great - two weekends and one picture later I'm a licensed scuba diver (granted I don't actually have the licenses yet but it will be coming in the mail shortly). Well after we passed (which taking my mask off in dive 4 was probably the most terrifying skill I had to do) Natalie and I took no time in getting in our first solo dive. Her husband, Quinton, escorted us down to Edithbugh and we jumped in! There was so much color around the jetty from the plants it was unbelievable. Can't wait to see what kind of underwater camera device I can get to share everything that we get to see.
Also at the end of summer is the Nissan Corporate Triathlon. The partners challenged us - and of course we're not going to say no...so we got together a few girls teams and a few for the fellas. Now since it is a Corporate triathlon and not an Ironman, we got a shorter version = 800 meter swim, 9 km cycle and 4 km run. Well our teams took off and proved to our partners that we might need a bit more time off (aka they work us too hard and we don't have adequate time to train). Well there is always next year. I reckon with a real road bike (not my commuter where we just took the basket off for more aerodynamics) and more swim practice (especially in salt water with waves) we'll be able to come back and make a better showing next year.
