For the past couple of months I've been feeling pretty unlucky. This past Sunday, I went on a family outing and went through quite a bit.
The morning started off pretty chill. I went tubing down a river, with no complications, at least during my first 2 runs. On the third run, I got caught in some rapids and bashed my back up something fierce, got stuck in a whirlpool (which I managed to escape), and then nearly got dragged under by a undertow off a small drop off.
Toward the evening, I went to gorge for some rock diving. 10 minutes prior to getting into the water, a seagull passes by and drops a miniature payload right off the tip of my nose and splat center on my chest...
Family jokingly said: "Oh, that's considered good luck!"
Thought to my self: "Surely things can't get any worse".
As I got into the water for a warmup swim, I slip on rock in waist high water, and end up sitting right on top of a branch (which rammed up somewhere I rather not say out in the open, but I'm pretty sure you guys can guess where). Pulling my self back together after what happened, I started off my warm up, by trying to swim across the small gorge. About 1/3 of the way, my right calf gets a sharp cramp, which caused me to tense up and sink (where I stopped, the water was about 20-25 feet deep). As I tried swimming back to land, I suddenly run out off breath and begin taking in water. At this point, I pretty much went into full panic. I manage breaching the surface with my hand, while continuing to swallow water. Luckily someone noticed, and began dragging me back to land.
Thanks to them, I made it out fine. Another minute or so, I think I would have been "swimming with the fishes", because I nearly blacked out.
Wondering who else has been experiencing some bad luck lately.
