...the Mako shark though as he pondered taking a big bite out of the whale shark's ass.
And as the summer starts to wind down, the final stages of planning begin for the "Duel at the Pool" where the powerful but sluggish and overstuffed whale shark meets the lithe, cunning but undertrained Mako shark.
Las Vegas odds currently favor the whale shark due to the fact that he trains in Kits Pool twice a day, every day. However, Las Vegas may not know that one fine summer evening not that long ago, the crafty Mako called a duel and resoundingly whooped the unsuspecting Whale shark over 5K! Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets...
Friends, family and curious bystanders are invited to come to Kitsilano Pool and witness this historical event. Please refer to this blog for details as to date and time.

Bla Bla Bla
such a flute, a wimpy pansy ass ... what you didn't tell your groupies is that we were going to train a bit .. for your benefit ... and were just puttin' on the googles when you said "I challenge you now" to which I chuckled and said "I'll do a few laps with you, but not the challenge, not today" as I had already swum 17.5 km earlier that day.
You're such a pussy .. harassing an old fat out-of-shape man with meaningless taunts just to bolster your fragile ego and self-esteem.
Go splash in your bath tub, doodie.
And ...
... you also need to let your fan club know I destroyed you lap by lap over the 20 lengths (2.5 k) that we actually swam together. Then I went for a nap, as originally planned.
You're a propaganda artist.
Loser.
Is the Mighty Whale Shark Cracking Under the Pressure?
Sounds like the stress is taking its toll? Not sleeping much? Getting a bit irritable? All of those poor little fish you've been gobbling up not digesting well? The Mako shark knows when his prey is weak and is prepared to strike at any time...
How's The Training Going ...
... Lesser Mako ? I sure hope you aren't falling too far behind. Remember, you can always forfeit or postpone till next year.
I just finished a 2700 metre splash a couple of hours ago, 1900 m yesterday and 1600 m on Friday. Gonna start ramping it up real soon, too ...
I'll understand if you give up. Honest. I won't think any less of you than I already do ;-)
Haven't even had a bath, let alone been in the pool
Yawn. (...as he rubs his eyes and scratches himself as if bored or just waking up.) Oh yeh. The "Duel at the Pwell" is coming up, isn't it? I thought I won that little bet last month?
Fret not. There has been no secret training happening at this end and I am happy that you have been getting in a few laps and, sure, I'll give you another crack at it...however, when I beat you again, it will be your turn to pay for the pints at Malone's.
I've spent the last week lounging on the shores of a glacial lake far out of range of computers, cell phones and other gadgets of technology. Until the beer ran out, all I did was reach down into the cooler and pull out full ones, and with the other hand, fire the empty can into the recycle bag. Did a little stargazing, too, but nothing strenuous.
So, when did you want that spanking?
Yeah .. you stink ...
