How can you not want to follow along with this one. It's racing in the water... without motors... fully tracked by satellite-tracking.

Thanks to Paul for the alert, and it's great to see Olympic swimmers really getting involved. Just like Aaron and his Race for the Oceans, Amanda Beard, Janet Evans, Jason Lezak and Eric Shanteau are all working for this cause.

Glenn Mills	Responded Apr 17, 2009 02:55PM LOL... I was betting on Seabiscuit. He's last. I still have faith, he's gonna be a late charger.
sprinter	Responded Apr 18, 2009 02:01PM Indeed, I thought about Seabiscuit as well. But Searcher is one of the smallest and less experienced one. She needs support! :)
sprinter	Responded Apr 20, 2009 06:39AM oh no, the little one is obviously quite curious and makes a detour through the half of the ocean...
Glenn Mills	Responded Apr 20, 2009 04:28PM They're all over the place now. Seabiscuit is catching up though. :)
Paul Reeder	Responded Apr 21, 2009 03:56PM Thanks Glenn, this is a great cause and worth a donation for all of us GoSwimmers. My money is on REM's Nightswimmer!
sprinter	Responded Apr 23, 2009 06:31AM My turtle is still on a shopping tour, haha. What's going on with Seabisquit, Glenn? It looks like its turning back... the tail points to the finish, not the head... or does it swim backwards now?!
Glenn Mills	Responded Apr 23, 2009 10:55AM LOL... he's going back for Searcher!
sprinter	Responded Apr 23, 2009 12:21PM Pew, finally, a rescue team...
sprinter	Responded Apr 28, 2009 01:30PM Congrats, Seabiscuit is 4th :)
Glenn Mills	Responded Apr 28, 2009 03:44PM My little turtle got 2nd! Way to go you little biscuit you! :)
