Triathlon Training Leads to Deadly Shark Attack

Triathlon Training Leads to Deadly Shark Attack A California man was training for a triathlon when he was fatally attacked by a shark.

The gruesome attack happened at San Diego Beach. The man was apparently lifted out of the water by a great white shark and his wet suit was shredded. Like most shark attack cases, scientists suspect that the shark assumed the man was a seal.

This story is pretty scary for any beach goers for two reasons.
1. It's rare to hear of a Great White attacking people - usually they're out to sea more
2. It wasn't a surfer. Not to say that it's better that they get surfers, but I'm saying surfers understand that sharks seem to attack surfers more than swimmers - so they know to be extra careful. Every day swimmers usually don't think it's a concern.

More to the story... Hillary Clinton has denounced all sharks and stated that she suspects Obama endorsed this shark attack. Obama claims that is simply not true.

ryan Yea that shark attack story is scary.. I know it's really uncommon for it to happen but still, imagine being one of those unlucky people. That's gotta be a horrifying experience.

plucky I agree, they all suck. Maybe I'll vote for myself again this year. Too bad about the victim of the shark attack - makes me wonder if I'll ever do that triathlon after all.

runningbear Hilary is about the least sincere candidate out there.
I can't even imagine the pain and horror that family is experiencing atm. Was the swim portion of the triathlon actually going to be held in there or was he just using it as a place to train? I'm guessing they'll close that beach to swimmers. At least I hope they would.

ryan I don't get all into politics cause I think none of them ever really do anything they say. They all kinda suck. I just don't like Hillary's personality - she seems so fake and I hate her big smile. I threw the comment in just cause I could almost see Hillary and Obama blaming it on one another. But the shark story is so sad, I hope the family of the victim is doing alright.
