Still walrus, but maybe a slightly faster walrus

i wonder if an elephant seal is faster than a walrus. i am going with yes. i have moved to elephant seal status with my 50 yds. crawl sprint of 43 seconds (43.27). although the east german judge is protesting because i had too wipe the water off my goggles to see the time, i may have been in the 42 second range.

i didn't mention this yesterday i don't think, it is slightly embarrassing but that is what i am about. if i can't laugh at myself, then i will become one of those people that............well i can't think of anything right now, it's late and i am about to go home from work, woohoo! anyway, i was wearing the flippers and was using a kick board. i was cruising along at a pretty good clip when i was caught from behind by a guy who has to be about 65. he was crawl stroking in the lane next to me. granted the guy is in good shape and he is there everyday like myself but for crying out loud! i had fins on! sheeesh! he is that elusive seal status that yearn to become one day.
