So, on with Swimming Bear vs Dolphin. I was watching a show with my kids yesterday, FETCH! w/Ruff Ruffman on PBS. They had a 12 yr old little boy try to compete against a dolphin. They were in the Dolphin's pool (so the dolphin had home pool advantage). The kid was actually a pretty good little swimmer. It took him 1:53 to swim the perimeter of the pool. The dolphin did it in 9 seconds. The dolphin could have lapped the boy 12 times. So, the question is could Swimming Bear only get lapped 11 times by the dolphin. :) Just to walk into another subject, would Esther only get lapped 10 times racing the dolphin pretending it was a virtual SB.
Just food for thought. Ultimately I bring this up because SJV always says if he could just learn to swim like a dolphin. Let's say that the little boy & dolphin was swimming a 100 yds. I calculate Shawn could do the TANGO swim in 6 mins and 24 seconds, if he actually could swim like a dolphin based on the what I saw from a real Dolphin.
Of course in my scenario, Shawn still wouldn't win the TANGO because Toby would gain more during the half marathon than Shawn would gain on the Dolphin Swim.

That may be the biggest setup on this blog to date.
Well done!
