For two days now, FOR TWO DAYS, I’ve been following my friend Sarah Thomas as she swims 82 miles (yes…MILES) in lake Powell in Arizona.

EIGHTY-TWO MILES. For my non-swimming friends, that’s 50-60 hours STRAIGHT. Yes, she’s swimming without sleep or rest for more than two days.

At publication of this blog post, she’s already been up for almost 51 hours, she’s swum 117.5 kilometers. She still has 11-odd miles to go. AND SHE’LL DO IT. She’s simply incredible.

Once she’s done, she will have swum longer, unassisted, than anyone else. Ever. She’s following English Channel rules (one cap, one pair of goggles, one non-porous suit), unlike another famous (infamous?) swimmer out there.

Simply unbelievable, Sarah. You are a wonder.
