Pete Kain Pushup Contest | Catfish Crawl Open Water Swim Results

Pete Kain beat 101 contestants in the 2 mile Catfish Crawl Sunday September 19th at Steven Creek Reservoir -- without a wetsuit. Yes, he beat out the wetsuit division with the fastest time of the day (47:10) on what I am told was a long 2 mile course - 2.2 to 2.5 miles. But the real challenge took place an hour later. With a brand new wetsuit on the line, Pete joined 20 other contestants for a push-up contest. After 50+ consecutive push-ups the field was reduced to just 47 year old Pete and 21 year old Garret Fowler of Stanford. To the cheers of the crowd and announcer, Pete and Garret completed another 20 push-ups. With body and arms shaking violently, Pete finally lowered a knee and called it quits. Organizer, USA Productions was so impressed they added a wetsuit for Pete. Pete asked the wetsuit be donated to the slowest contestant of the day, but when David Gildea couldn’t be located, he asked it be given to the oldest. That still would have been Gildea (67)! It pays to stay... and David Dahl, 61 went home with a brand new wetsuit! Lots of excitement!
