...almost ten hours Toronto's Cliff Lumsden and California's Tom Park swam shoulder to shoulder around Absecon Island (N.J.), fighting for first place in Atlantic City's 26-mile saltwater marathon. They churned to the finish line like sprinters, but as Lumsden touched out Tom Park, the fickle crowd was looking elsewhere.
