Two more sleeps… if my nerves will let me!

Two more sleeps… if my nerves will let me!

I’m two days away from the record attempt and my nerves are shot! I had a great max attempt on Tuesday reaching 111m and then yesterday could barely make 50m. My coach suggested I reset and try again this morning – everything felt effortless and I once again reached my target!

I really hope I can carry this momentum into Sunday’s attempt. The second lap seems to be my marker, if I make the turn around on the second lap I have been able to reach the required distance each time – so if I can just keep my mind still enough to focus on the first 60m I know I can go the full 110m required.

Please send me all the positive energy! I will be doing the record attempt 8am on Sunday 28 November. I am also trying to raise funds for another Guinness World Record attempt early next year in Norway for the “longest under ice swim with breath hold” – that’s no fins, no weight belt, no wetsuit and under 34 cm of ice in sub zero waters! If you would be able to assist, I would appreciate any donations through my crowdfunding page.
