Olypmics for chum

We've been having our own swimming events during the summer Olympics since not all of us could go to Bejing to witness the summer games. Here we are at the Gold Creek facility in downtown Juneau at the end of the thousand-mile freestyle race.



And their getting ready to do their final lap and you can see that there isn't a clear leader even after all the miles they travel...Please note the special media seating for gulls and buoys.


But wait...one of the racers appears to be making a move, Charlie the Chum has gotten a burst of energy and seems to be taking off...hold on to your seats, gulls and buoys...ever before in the history have we seen such a display of such stamina...


wait for it....





Oh, too bad, it doesn't appear that he could maintain that lead...say tuned...

He almost crossed the finish line! That is so sad. Never did a species have to work so hard to reproduce..
