Clearly, as all current and former school pupils know, that the Andes -as the childhood gag goes, are located at the end of the wristies - are the longest continental mountain range in the world.
Today's race result for the Andean Cup, proved to be a riddle, wrapped up in an enigma, inside a conundrum, where our reporter in the field opined that some raced 440 yards only, and not the 880 yards as prescribed by the voters on the day.
REVISION: BUT THE REPORTER IN THE FIELD WAS INCORRECT, EVERYONE SWAM 880 YARDS
No swimmer time-travelled by swimming down a hidden Serpentine puquio and surfaced via another puquio closer to the finish.
Earlier in the week, Brian had posted that the race distance be changed from 440 to 880 yards, and posted news of this on the Serpentine SC website.
Thanks to Ian Stuttard for kindly providing the prizes for the 880 yard Andean Cup race.
Listed below, the results...
