Shark Attack takes life of triathlete

It's been a sad weekend here in San Diego due to the tragic death of local triathlete, husband, father and retired Solana Beach veternarian Dave Martin.

Dave was swimming about 150 yards off the coast with 9 or 10 other members of the San Diego Triathlon Club, where he has reportedly attacked by a shark. Despite the best (and heroic) efforts of his fellow swimmers, as well as lifeguards and emergency responders, he died shortly after from his injuries.

Our hearts and sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Its something this this random event that should make us stop and appreciate what we have in this life and remind us of the tenuous connection that binds us to this world.
