500-meter swim

#Repost @crossfitphotojournal ・・・ Thursday, 7:00 AM. @thedavecastro briefs the individual athletes on the morning’s ocean event. The athletes will be breaking through the Pacific Ocean surf on Redondo Beach, and will then swim 500 meters. To prevent congestion in the shore, the plan is to start female athletes 30 seconds after the men. As Dave finishes the safety portion of his brief, he notes that “sharks have been really active in this area.” He gets a few nervous giggles from the group of female athletes in front of me. “Last year we saw an 8-foot shark near the event area, so if that happens again this year we will probably delay the event.” Afterward I ask Games rookie @jamiejoyce2 how she feels about the event. She actually watched last year’s swim event from the Hermosa Beach Pier. “It’s nuts,” she says. “I remember watching the competition and think how cool it would be to be doing that.” I ask if she’s worried about the Sharks. She laughs. “Dave is just trying to be funny.” #CrossFitGames #CrossFit #reebok #sonya6000 #crossfitphotojournal
