The most recent thing I've read says she's going without a cage again. Nutty, but inspirational.

That's why we swim along with the shark stun guns and jelly fish nets.
Whyyyyyy no cage? Endurance swimmers have mobile cages or nets somehow held fore, aft, left and right by boat or kayak. Would a form of protection negate the record? Nobody has done this before, right? So why not give every chance of success and safety?Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

It's been done with a cage, never without. Originally Posted by Trek420

I'm really excited to meet her, we're doing an Olivia resort trip to Cancun in May and she's doing a fitness seminar!

That's exciting that you will get to meet her! Start working out.

I was swimming on Sunday and all I could think was "she is nine years older than me, and my entire workout wouldn't even be a decent warm up for her". Originally Posted by Trek420
