The Dry Dive Party has turned into a tradition for us, this was our third year in a row attending. It's good to see our diver friends, hang out, enjoy some food, but lets be honest, it's more about winning a prize! This year was slightly different than previous years, where prizes were luck of the draw, instead it was a photo contest to celebrate our Dive Shop's 30th Anniversary. Talk about right up our alley.
Every party, there is always some social type game going on. We were each given a wrist ban and the object was to collect as many of them as you could. When somebody said dive, diver, or diving and you noticed, that entitled you to take all the wrist bans they had collect. Though I wasn't planning on trying to trick anybody into giving me their band, I wasn't going to let anybody take mine. The easiest way to not slip was not to talk about diving, that was my strategy. Turns out a couple of other people must of had the same idea, because I spent most of my time talking about running. I successfully kept my wrist band, but in the process I may have lost my mind, because I got talked into running the Kalamazoo Marathon. My goal for next year was to do a 10K, but valid points were made that I should at least do a half marathon. I'm now officially signed up for the half, though I going to attempt to approach training like I'm doing the full, because it would be awesome to get that crossed off my bucket list.
Back to the contest, I had big plans and many ideas for cool shots that would win me the big prize. As it turns out, the only pictures we took were from a single dive. Yeah, I still have lots of slacker left in me. I honestly didn't think we took any that were prize worthy, but Becca forced me to submit what we had anyway, couldn't hurt, right? Turns out the one that I had the highest hopes won us 3rd runner up! So, the evening ended a runner up and runner to be.
