It was Labor Day 12 years ago that my Xtreme Dream Team and I walked up onto the beach in Key West, after my swimming 52 hrs, 54 mins from Havana. The grand adventure of a lifetime and I will never forget any member of my committed team. Bonnie was the strength of the crossing. Candace (silver hair) was the only person on my boat all five times, over 35 years, going back to the first attempt in 1978. The box jellyfish stings could have been fatal. My shark divers were brave. Yes, life goes ONWARD, but the memory never seems to fade. Still proud. • #nyad #cubaswim #swimminghistory #epic #oneward #neverevergiveup #findaway #xtremedream

Could sing Beatles every day. #nyad #musicfriday #beatles #tickettoride
The truth is I don’t take my birthday too seriously. But last Friday, on my 76th bday, I just happened to be speaking to a large group of 6,000 at the USANA convention, so I brazenly asked them to sing to me. Really fun. #nyad #happybirthday #usana
A Classic at Summer’s End. #nyad #musicfriday #americanpie #donmclean

Who’s coming to walk with us at Pan Pacific Park this Sunday? Details at EverWalk.com
Years ago, I was watching a women’s Grand Slam tennis match with a friend who isn’t a sports fan. My friend appreciated the skills of the players — the shots, the gets, the athleticism — but she liked the tennis couture more. The match was a two-setter, rather quick and seemingly effortless. The next time we watched a match together, it happened to be the 2012 Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. As the slugfest of a five-setter ended, both of us drained and exhilarated, my friend commented: “I guess five sets would be too much, physically, for the women.” Flabbergasted, I turned to her and said, “You’re saying this to me?” Alas, my friend is not alone in her assumptions about the endurance of female athletes. Consider: In Thursday’s women’s U.S. Open semifinal, Amanda Anisimova beat Naomi Osaka in the third set, but could Osaka have come back in a fourth? After taking in the four-set dogfight between Djokovic and Taylor Fritz, I was thirsty to see Anisimova and Osaka scrap further. The unsubtle message of professional tennis is that women don’t have what it takes for that. 🔗Visit the link in our bio to read more.
