This Journey Has Always Been

Just Getting In The Pool For Seven Straight Hours Is Unbearable To Me.... It's Grueling. There's Nothing Physically Pleasurable About It. If You're Doing A Hard Workout, You're Throwing Up In The Gutter. At Night You Cling To Your Pillow And Just Hope That Your Body Revives Before You Have To Go Back And Do It Again.

Swimming Is Probably The Ultimate Of Burnout Sports.

If You Want To Touch The Other Shore Badly Enough, Barring An Impossible Situation, You Will. If Your Desire Is Diluted For Any Reason, You'll Never Make It.

This Journey Has Always Been About Reaching Your Own Other Shore No Matter What It Is, And That Dream Continues.

Swimming Is Probably The Ultimate Of Burnout Sports. It's Ironic Because Millions Of People Who Swim As Their Regular Exercise Love The Meditation Aspect Of It; You Don't Wind Up With Any Orthopedic Injuries. But When You Swim At A World Class Level For Hours And Hours - The Loneness Of The Long Distance Runner.
