We have a winner! Ernie, owned by Kaleb Richard, 9, of S.C. youtube.com/watch?v=qjmuvN…
It's raining! But at least it's not slowing the crabs down. We do love a good beach storm.
Finals are almost here... and just in time. It's raining in #VirginiaBeach.
Lightning the hermit crab just won the most athletic superlative. I demand a recount!
Next up, first, second and third place winners compete in semifinals. Wish I was racing, but I'll have fun with the commentary.
Last heat of the first round is under way. Consider this halftime...
Registration is finally closed. The final count of participants: 250 hermit crabs.
I'm not participating in the hermit crab beauty pageant; my only interest is speed. But these girls are: youtube.com/watch?v=0B_C6A…
Spectators watch me and my peeps in the sand. The kids seem to love squirting us with water.
Also check out this video of the giant hermit crab. Wow: youtube.com/watch?v=4xFnqd…
I was filmed! Watch me race: youtube.com/watch?v=nMY4x-…
Wow, 170 crabs have registered for this race, and counting. Organizers said a few contestants just went to the boardwalk to buy more crabs.
Now for some down time. Relaxing in the ring with Speedy, owned by Caden Murphy, 4, of Virginia Beach.
The first rule of underground hermit crab racing is you do not talk about underground hermit crab racing.
Foiled in my first heat! I was beaten by Pink Fish, owned by Sadie, 3, of Virginia Beach. Man, she was fast.
First heat is over, second is going on now. Think I'm in good shape -- the announcer keeps calling these heats "glacial."
Yikes, a giant hermit crab! He's the size of a baseball, owned by Sydney of Lynchburg. Something for me to aspire to.
