I left swimming for hours.
The longest I swam was five and a half hours in Finland.
It was quite cold.
I got lost in the process.
Barely could find my way back.
But
The reason I do it, yes, you feel great after.
You're shaking a little bit.
You feel great after.
You cross a huge lake, and I crossed many lakes.
Geneva Lake, Zurich Lake.
And every time you feel this achievement, which makes you happy, makes you feel strong.
And then you're more ready to other challenges.
And of course, when you know you're going to start a journey that will last a few hours, you're reluctant to do it.
But you swim for 10 minutes and then for 20 minutes and then for 30 minutes.
And it teaches you this incredible patience that I think is necessary if you want to achieve anything in life.
And it's pretty meditative.
Lake versus ocean.
Yes.
And you don't have to go too fast.
