Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 1256245, member: 686"] Clearly, you're joking right? Because you couldn't do it, no one can? What was your motivation? Were you swimming for your life? For the record, there are a lot of people that have swam farther. For example, 64 year old Diana Nyad swam the Florida Strait (103 miles from Cuba to Florida) in 2013. Granted, she trained a long time for it, but Konrad's swim was much shorter. As for the muscles comment, I've never seen an anatomy chart that shows football muscles or swimming muscles. It's been a while since Konrad was a football player, so it's quite conceivable that he trains his body differently than he used to. I am friends with a former D1 OL who played at 6'3" and 275 lbs (this was in the very early 80s when guys weren't as big) who now runs a couple of marathons a year. I think it is far from "official" that he didn't do this. [/QUOTE]
