So, Freddie went in search of his lady love and he very nearly made it too! In less than a day Freddie hightailed it all the way to the zoo where he was discovered in a lane by a passerby. They took Freddie to a tortoise sanctuary. He picks up a bit of speed when he sees a dandelion, though.
What we do know is that when they were reunited, it was time for Freddie to go into hibernation, so he got a good rest following his marathon for a tortoise endeavor! Bertie was asked to cover the length of 5. That meant his speed of around 0.

Bertie has since retired from racing and is shacked up happily with his girlfriend Shelly where his world record certificate is prominently displayed on the wall by their enclosure.
