  3. Jan: I remember those days as well. I used to play a lot of tennis back then. Chris and I have both hung up our rackets, but Nyad just keeps on going.

  4. Granny Annie: It's an amazing feat for anyone to accomplish, but for a woman who's 64, it's fabulous. Wonderful. Terrific. I should stop before I run out of adjectives.

  5. It really was an accomplishment. I might have been able to float a few miles, but oh man, that is a long way to swim. Glad the sharks left her alone.

  6. Z - I'm happy for her that she made it. She has a lot of courage to try it again after so many failures.

  7. That's too damn far. I'll stick to the width of the pool and not the length.

  8. Silly Rabbit: It was an amazing feat. I swim a few laps in my pool and then sit on the big inner tube and rest.

  10. Woodsterman (Odie): The width is about 15 feet in my pool. I'll have to remember that... the length is much longer.
