Levy Loop

I splashed around the Levy Loop this afternoon in 32:28.

NOTEWORTHY
Last night I saw a very rare football event—a game in which two teams played through regulation without scoring. Pea Ridge defeated Central Arkansas Christian, 3-0, in overtime. I have watched approximately 5,390 football games (on television or in person), two of which ended in regulation with the scored tied at 0-0—the game last night and one between Air Force and Wyoming in Laramie on September 10, 1977. As examples of the rarity of scoreless ties, there hasn't been one in the National Football League since 1943, and since I watched that game in Laramie, there have been two in college—Oregon State and Oregon played to a 0-0 tie in 1982 and Arkansas State and Florida Atlantic in 2005. I truly believe I might be the only man alive to have watched two scoreless ties.
