The first Laguana Del Tule Race in Melaque, Mexico takes place January 21 at 10 am. The race is a 1000m competition across the lagoon, with One Million Pesos in prize Money. There are 24 entries and it is said that Phelps and Hackett are entered. There are crocodiles in the lagoon but are not supposed to be a danger to humans. I will report the results in the morning after the race is completed.
Entries are now being accepted for next years race.
Entry fee for each swimmer is 2 well rotted fish to feed the crocs the day before the race.
That will keep the crocs full so they don't attack the swimmers for a snack. I believe that is food for thought.
George, you sly dog! Had me going too! Ha!
Now as for next year, can I sign up via active.com, and can you arrange with active to ship the fish to the appropriate contact person... er... crocodile?
And what type of fish are preferred? I suppose once the decaying process advances, the type will be indistinguishable...
But I really don't want to keep the required fish in my apartment that long. Neighbors have a way of complaining (how little they understand the dedication demanded of true OW swimmers).
Finally, one concern I have is that if an insufficient number of people sign up and pony up the needed fish, the crocodiles will view those donated as h'ors d'oeuvres.... with the swimmers as the entrees. No doubt they're studying the wine list as the race committee processes the apps.
And will someone slower than I enter this race? For obvious reasons, this is important.
