Congratulations Diana Nyad!
64 years young Diana Nyad has completed her quest to swim from Cuba to Florida today. What an amazing feat. Despite 4 previous attempts that were thrwarted by weather, jellyfish and a number of hurtles, she regrouped and at each new try, brought with her new strategies, pros, and re-newed drive.
110 miles, 52 hrs-54 mins-18.6 sec after entering the Cuban waters, with tremendous support both actual and virtual, Diana walked on the Florida shore this morning September 2, 2013.
While standing on shore she had three things to say, “Never, ever give up”, “you’re never too old to chase your dreams”, and “it looks like a solitary sport but it’s a team”.
Good on ya – thank you Diana for the inspiration to chase!
