some inspiring goals here. really enjoyed reading what targets everyone is setting themselves.
there's a long waiting list to swim the channel. think it's somewhere along 3 years to wait and to arrange a pilot will set you back around 3k at least last time i checked. plus the conditions have to be just right and there may only be short windows where its possible to attempt it. i couldn't imagine the devotion needed to get to the standard where you could swim it. to me it seems more of a mental endurance than physical. just seems major badass territory. also cyclists aren't really built for endurance swimming without wetsuits though!
