M. watched Grandpa beat Braden in the pool this summer, and got a little cocky.

Apparently Grandpa's victory inspired M. to challenge Braden to a race this weekend.

However, two things were working against M.:

1. M. did not train, as Grandpa did. In fact, I cannot remember the last time M. swam laps in the pool.

2. Braden has dropped 5 seconds off his personal best since racing Grandpa.

The race this weekend was a nail biter. We truly needed touchpads to determine the winner. But after watching the tape over and over and over again, I think we've determined a winner.
