Today I got up at 5:30 to go deep sea fishing. Not a bad setup, we split a boat rental with 6 of us and headed out to the local fishing grounds with our captain and his mate in-charge. After close to 3 hours of 5-10 foot swells, I was not feeling to hot. I spent a large amount of time standing up with the waves crashing over me trying not to puke. Maybe next time, I will take some dramamine or something. I was the only one to lose my breakfast, but once that happened, I was good for the rest of the day. We ended up being very successful in our fishing adventures and had a blast. Our captain was very good at what he does and set up up to catch some real fish. We caught and released 4 marlin, but kept the 3 Dorado we caught (I brought in a medium sized Dorado). Pretty sweet experience, but extremely tiring trying to not get thrown overboard and ride the waves all day. We did enjoy our catch for dinner though. Counting that ordeal as 10 cross training miles since I was more tired than after a 20 miler. Will post pics of our fishing later...
