Amazing feat

[konradv]

Diana Nyad became the first person to swim the 103 miles from Cuba to Florida without flippers or a shark cage. It took her 53 hours and was her fifth attempt over the last 35 years. The most amazing part is that she is 64 years old.

Props, but I what kind of crack was she smoking?

That is super. I am of a similar age, and swimming my mile plus daily almost breaks me.

Good for her!

That is a great first post.

Flippers would be nice but I ain't making that swim without a shark cage. And maybe an industrial-sized set of water wings for max buoyancy.
