In fact, the more I think about it, the whole exercise seems totally pointless and a waste of everyone's time. At the end of the day, what has she actually achieved? She has dived off the side of a boat every day, swam for 8 hours in a shark cage and wet suit, had some food, sailed forwards through the night then repeated it all again the next day. She then has the audacity to claim she has "swum the atlantic!".<BR/><BR/>Total nonsense, and I don't know why we are even getting worked up about it, other than the fact we are vigorously defending our sport. Rightly so as well!Hoffy Swimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896963878541578649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951533039058879297.post-16257236267516912102009-02-11T09:40:00.000+00:002009-02-11T09:40:00.000+00:00i have been SO frustrated with all the publicity s...i have been SO frustrated with all the publicity surrounding this story. to be a marathon swimmer means you must learn to cope with the environment which you are entering. yes, i get stung by jellyfish all summer long. yes, i had hypothermia just last sunday because the water was 4C (39F). yes, seals approach me when i'm swimming and i flirt with an attack by them constantly. but that is what it means to be a marathon swimmer. i find it highly unfair that our group of swimmers work so hard in our accomplishments which largely go unnoticed. we collectively swim millions of kilometres each year, and one person who does not regard the rules for our sport exploits what we work so hard to maintain. the media need to once again take a lesson from this and learn the rules of marathon swimming for themselves...because i cannot take another bullshit story like this one! anybody can hop on a boat for 24 days, have a few swims along the way, and say they swam the atlantic. anybody!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
