9) Marine Biologist (that likes sharks) that wants an incredible job? Remember when I did the shark diving trip? Well, this is like that, except all expense paid to live in Fiji for a year+.

And sharks will eat them anyway, thus they’ll never upload that activity to Strava.

Despite the concerns of great white sharks lurking just beyond the break, this particular stretch of beach is nice and shallow – making it such that I could easily walk almost the entire route I swam, save a short spot where they’ve towed a floating platform for kids to jump off.

We also went wandering for pre-historic shark teeth, which wash up on shore with teeth from sharks thousands of years ago.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/01/hello-australia-im-crashing-your-country-through-march.html

It’s swim/bike/run heaven! The beach is only a block away, allowing for awesome openwater swims (save the sharks), and there’s tons of riding to be had.

This has been true of my nearly 30 hour boat trip to Guadalupe Island for Great White Sharks, as well as previous African adventures.

Oreka O2 Cycling Treadmill In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/02/oreka-o2-cycling-treadmill-review.html

While what Tacx has designed with their crazy optical sensor sharks with lasers system is enviable, I suspect even just a simple connection to a cadence sensor would resolve the issues here.

Cycling around South Africa

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/02/cycling-around-south-africa.html

Just a few miles away directly out from them is the infamous Seal Island…and a touch bit further Dyer Island – home to one of the greatest congregation of Great White Sharks around (and the majority of Discovery Channel Shark Week Shows).

2) Great white sharks takes out seal next to Alcatraz: Well then…who’s ready for the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon (glad I already checked that one off the list…)? I prefer to keep my great white shark and triathlon experiences separate, thank you very much.
