3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt took about thirty-two minutes, on a course with eight parts and seven turns, and rescue boats and medical teams stood by.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeven turns. Somebody took a sea and put a chicane in it, and I think that's where the paperwork started.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the tire is just throwing the lake behind it. I give that one long, wet summer before somebody wants a lane.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe old record was about nineteen point eight miles. Somebody was already out there doing this.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNineteen miles. Nobody told the rest of us there was a league.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn two thousand nine, he tried this four times and fell four times. That's the only part I can relate to.
