Fatty, I don’t know how widely the term “Xterra” is know. Maybe you want to describe the horror of what you paid to do to yourself to those who don’t know…….

@Tom in Albany…showing my age a bit here…but wasn’t Sugar Ray an Olympics Gold Medal winner in boxing way back when?? I recall he had quite an amateur career, and then went on and had an AMAZING career as a pro. And weren’t the Spinks bro’s on the same Olympic boxing team? Gosh…shredding my few remaining neurons remembering this stuff.

Great beginning Fatty…I am still flabbergasted that you can jump in and swim any distance with ZERO training. I’d think your arms would be like concrete after the first 100 yards and you’d be hoisting sail to continue…but I’ve never swam in a wetsuit before(except w/ full diving gear…making it just a teensy bit more cumbersome) so can’t say how much help that would be.

@davidh…you need to get OUT of fight-club! Wasn’t it Sugar Ray Leonard (or was it Sweet Pea Whittaker) who had a detached retina and ended his boxing career? Actually I have to assume there is a ’story’ behind this…they don’t detach from pillow-fights, do they?

davidh — detached retina? You? My dog said he just can’t see it. Get well soon.

OK, checked the results to soften this cliffhanger. Can’t wait to see why you think you’re the bug, especially in the next leg.

Good swim, though!

Wow! Can’t believe the swimming was the best part of the day. Can’t wait to hear why. And I agree with @Rose that @JeffD’s comment is perfect!!
@davidh bummer about the detached retina. Hope you are doing better.

@kristina
Alas, like many experiences in life, the tease is better than the reveal.

I’m just slowly recovering from a partially detached retina and have been on a ‘commentary’ restriction more severe than my usual ‘three a day’.

And, like @Rose I believe @JeffD nailed it today!

How is it that everyone has ignored One Eyed Jack’s comments?! I would really like some additional details there!

Jeff D – hysterical! Still giggling.
