Pretty cool stuff. I enjoyed the video for its anti-climacticness. The guy just kind of comes out of the water, someone asks if he wants a burrito. Someone else just says "good job." The dude looks wiped out. Bravo.

I hate being in water long enough to get pruned skin, I can't imagine 48 hours of it.
