I'm starting to think Paul Romero of SOLE is just messing with me.

First he told me he saw dolphins while paddling during day one. That same day, he claims to have run over a cat during the bike section of the course. Day two supposedly saw Romero nearly running down a smallish large game animal.

Now Romero claims he encountered a massive sea snake on day three's lengthy paddle on the Arabian Gulf! I'm gonna start demanding evidence. In the shot I got of SOLE paddling on day three, there were no sea snakes in site. Just four blissed-out athletes.
