If you read last week's Fitness Friday post, you know that a group of Aquarium staffers and friends are training for the Tough Mudder competition (they're blogging and raising money for the Aquarium here). They challenged the Northern fur seals to various races and tests of coordination and endurance, and  last week Isaac the fur seal won a swimming race against Tough Mudder team member Chrys, even though Isaac gave Chrys quite a head start.



This week Tough Mudder team member Lion (all the Tough Mudder competitors chose competition pseudonyms related to ocean animals) goes up against Cordova the fur seal in a triathlon of crawling, swimming and climbing. As you can see in the video below, Cordova gave Lion too much of a head start in the swimming part of the race!
