	Race to the Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Race to the Sea was the name given to a period of World War I when the two sides engaged in trench warfare continually attempted to outflank each other on the northern flank resulting in a northward extension of the near-continuous front line towards the North Sea.
		The term "Race to the Sea" suggests that it was a race to the sea when in actual fact it wasnt; the movement towards the North Sea was the result of continuous failed flanking (trying to get round the back of the opposition and attack from behind).
		The race is deemed to have begun late September, 1914 following the end of the Battle of the Aisne, the unsuccessful Allied counter-offensive against the German forces halted during the preceding First Battle of the Marne.

	First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Race to the Sea
		The 'Race to the Sea', as it subsequently - and somewhat inaccurately - became known, and which was conducted from September-November 1914, ended with the onset of trench warfare in the Western Front.
		In fact the Race to the Sea comprised what was the last mobile phase of the war on the Western Front until the German Spring Offensive of March 1918.
		During this earlier period control of the Channel coast was deemed a genuine strategic priority, thus in part justifying the tag 'Race to the Sea'; ultimately however both sides found themselves in possession of given Channel ports.

	First Battle of Ypres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This battle and the Battle of the Yser marked the end of the so-called Race to the Sea.
		The British Expeditionary Force, under the command of Field Marshal Sir John French, was redeployed north from the mobile fighting of the first two months of the war to join two divisions of reinforcements recently landed in Belgium.
		The Belgians opened the sluice gates of the river Yser to let in the sea into the low lying land to prevent further German advances[1].

	Middle Sea Race. Yacht Charters with Race1
		The Rolex Middle Sea Race is a highly rated offshore classic, often mentioned in the same breath as the Rolex Fastnet, The Rolex Sydney - Hobart and Newport-Bermuda as a "must do" race.
		The race is a true challenge to skippers and crews who have to be at their very best to cope with the often changeable and demanding conditions.
		Equally, the race is blessed with unsurpassed scenery with its course, taking competitors close to a number of islands, which form marks of the course.

		Sea birds gather and catch the tiny turtles in their sharp beaks and feast on them.
		All sea turtles in the world—the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Pacific populations are endangered species.
		Trawling or scraping of the sea bottom is very detrimental to sea life in general because it destroys the breeding grounds of fish, shrimp and all marine life.

	Race to the Sea
		The Race to the Sea was the name given to a period of World War I from the end of the German advance into France in September of 1914 to the formation of a near-continuous front line from the Swiss border to the North Sea coast of Belgium in November.
		The title is a misnomer as the purpose of both sides was not to be the first to the sea but instead to out-flank the enemy.
		In the ensuing battles fought in Picardy, Artois and Flanders, neither side could gain the advantage and so, as repeated attempts to find the open flank were made, the line was extended until a natural obstacle denied the room to manoeuvre.

		While the race simulation is currently only six hours behind according to race director Gérard Fusil, the time he estimated for the fastest team is currently running 24 hours behind.
		Most teams didn't expect to be walking their horses early in the race and found themselves hoofing alongside their not-so-trusty steeds on foot.
		For the remaining teams, 14 of whom are racing in the Discovery Class, life on the trail is tough - with teams battling the heat, rain and even pit viper snakes in the grassy Headquarter 4 (yes, journalists are camped there too).

		Their ancestors were giant land turtles that entered the sea ages ago when the first dinosaurs lived.
		It took millions of years for sea turtles to evolve, for legs to become flippers and for big bodies to flatten into streamlined shapes.
		For years, when there were many sea turtles, such hunting seemed to have little affect on their numbers.

		He said that the race was accessible to anyone with surf launching skills, and had even been done in the past by people paddling in plastic Scupper boats (like mine).
		Mentioning a race to this kind of person elicits behavior you would normally only expect in a cartoon; Horns grow out of their foreheads, steam comes out of their ears, they paw the ground with their front hooves, their eyes bug out of their sockets and red veins start to show in the whites.
		The swell at sea was going to be under eight feet, so I drove down with all my gear and the expectation of partaking in the race.

		Sure enough, over the next five-and-a-half-weeks the flow "slowly worked its way across the coastal flat, feinting this way and that, first to the west, then to the east, then in the middle," according to USGS reports.
		As arms of the flow reached within 400 and 700 meters of the water, a race began on July 16 between two fingers on the closer eastern lobe.
		Crossing the Chain of Craters Road, the western arm dripped and cascaded into the Pacific down the sea cliff of Wilipe`a at dawn on July 21.
