Mullins puts another WR to rest...this time with a 218m DNF

[bubbleless]

An unusually jovial David Mullins entered the water today, with many guessing he was going to just have a swim, but oh no...in front of a small crowd and judges brought in especially for his attempts, David exited the water very very clean at 218m

That dangling weight belt end, wetsuit zipper cord, and uncovered mat of hair on your head were holding you back dave! I bet those little things were good for a few more meters by themselves... Mr. merman doesn't have to sweat the small stuff!

Slightly more drag, but I don't think they'd make much difference at that speed. Taking care of all that stuff would probably just make me paranoid!
