Lobsterrace 25/9

Så var det tid for Lobsterrace igjen. Idag stilte undertegnede (Morten) og André. Etter litt klabb og babb i første sving kom André bakpå, men han jobbet iherdig og tok ledelsen etter to runder. Derfra og inn var det full kontroll! Det var visst et lobsterrace forrige torsdag også ifølge Jorg. Her er hans rapport: 

"Lobster #42: Last nights Lobster race started despite adverse conditions. The field was diminished by family and work duties, fear of huge waves and torrential rain and pure laziness. Rumour has it that some competitors were injured and had pulled out their fingernails to avoid competing. 

After a slow start of the line, to test whether anyone was going to takethe lead and pull, I realized that no one else was there and I started pulling myself. I then realized that this is actually hard work and slowed right down again. What's to gain from hard work, if no-one is there to admire it? Staying close to shore, the boredom of pootling along was only interrupted by the occassional sprint when a jogger came past to admire the superior species of a lonely flatwater paddler.

When my glasses fogged up due to the rain, I lost my sense of direction, as well as loosing count of the number of laps. So I soldiered on. When even the hav-paddlers and the swans had disappeared, I decided it was time to declare myself the winner and start the celebrations and make up a time, beating Lasses PB by less than a second. Who was going to challenge me?

In a jubilant mood about the great achievement, I went to Møllendal Fetevaren, who in awe of my great achievement, offered free champagne to anyone who could beat me in an arm wrestling competition. Since nobody was there, I won that competition also and celebebrated accordingly. The King of England sent over fighter jets for a fly-over in appreciation, and I am still working on responding to the messages of congratulations that are flooding in from across the world. It is exhausting to be this famous!

Have a great day all, and see you on the water."

På Strava så det slik ut:

Tror han tok feil av løypen. Men distansen er grei nok ihvertfall.
