Seriously, any water other than a pool, from the ocean all the way down to a 15’ wide pond that is chest high, has a great white swimming just past my depth of vision when I am in it. Even hilarious movies like this are a no for me dawg
Obviously this isn’t an official Ironman Triathlon, I mean they delay & cancel swims for thunderstorms, riptide, choppiness, strong currents and fog. Clearly they also cancel the swim when legendary sharks are present.
I have a 1 mile open water swim race on the 8th. (In a lake) Just watched the trailer for this film. It's basically a modern version of jaws. I personally can't handle horror movies. I've even had my own personal encounter with a shark while surfing.
WTF. My spouse is already afraid of OWS and she’s going to Nice this year. Netflix, this is some BS. Gotta delete the Netflix app until after the race. Thanks for the heads up.
Legit I thought it was a joke. I’m so shocked it is an actual movie with a [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnCefPQIH98&t=98s&pp=2AFikAIB) and all 🧐🥹😅😳
Just in case somebody needs to read this... Please keep in mind, that shark attacks are rare.
> "The University of Florida's International Shark Attack File (ISAF), a scientific database of global shark attacks, confirmed 69 unprovoked bites in 2023."
Fatal shark attacks are usually less than 10 per year. Just to put it into perspective, look up how many sharks are killed annually by humans.
Swimming in a river in Paris? The shark is the least of your worries
They are cleaning the Seine for the olympics
It's more likely to have a duathlon than to have a clean Seine
I swam in the canal st Martin once and I was itchy af afterwards.
They do say you might get it
The shark could beat me in a swim and I could beat the shark in a run, so the race comes down to whoever is faster on the bike.
Gotta think Shark has an aero advantage
on the swim, definitely the shark has an aero advantage. But you think that still applies to the bike as well?
Shark shaped entirely like a jumbo visma helmet
You seem to have given this quite a bit of thought...
Not hammerheads tho
It's not Visma ! (I usually stick with the old names until half way through the tour too)
*it’s not Jumbo (Visma is still a title sponsor)
It’s literally Visma-Lease-A-Bike.
I told you I'd not get it right til the tour. It's jumbo that's gone hasn't it. My bad.
Surely this qualifies as a hydro advantage?
The shark will struggle to clip in though…
If you are going to swim a triathon with a shark it is probably best to draft off of it in the swim. You know you can get past him on the bike.
Maybe the shark is competing.
It will get DQ'd, its not got a number on.
Also no swim cap.
Bigger issue are his flippers !! Additional help
Using fins - straight to jail.
Sure to have a strong swim leg, granted. Can’t see it doing well the rest of the way
It looks to be struggling, mid-pack on it's strongest leg. Going to be a tough day for monster shark.
One more thing to think about as I stare down into the darkness

He will have a amazing swim time but I don't think the bike or run part is in his cards, sadly.
I have a tattoo of 2 orcas riding a tandem bike. I’m sure sharks could manage too
I need to see that tattoo!
The rules forbid tandem bikes tho…

Phew I’ve got one on the 8th would have taken it as an omen

This is hilarious. I got to check this flick out

This might up the registration numbers to the sport. IM nice will benefit from this.

Sharks aren’t that big.
