Ms. Nyad holds Italy's
Capri-to-Naples world record. ...recognition fantasies I have,
they shouldn't be fantasies... She swum 32 miles. Feeling that my body is
as gargantuan as a whale, I'm 30 feet wide,
with incredible strength and shoulders, and I'm just muscling my way through
that water nothing's gonna stop me. Gulls were dive-bombing my calf, and I thought there was blood
all down the front of my face. Sixty hours nonstop in the open sea. It's like I'm getting that gold medal
at the Olympic games. This swim is much, much closer
to impossible than it is to possible. I feel like, uh, I have a moment of immortality
when I get to the other side
