O knihe
This book tells of the trials and
tribulations of an English expatriate
who set himself an endurance
sporting goal just for the hell of it.
Living in Bulgaria made the
challenge even more demanding and
was seen by many as a quintessential
eccentric English quirk, pointless and
mingled with madness.
The goal was to complete a 2-mile open
water swimming event based some 3000 kilometres
away in London's Hyde Park. The
biggest hurdle was not being able to
swim with an acute fear of water.
Not to be ignored here is age. It was perhaps getting old that motivated him more than anything as opposed to just limp and fade away into the lethargy of old age.
The challenge seemed an impossible feat initially with many hurdles that had to be overcome. This was not just from starting out as a non-swimmer fearful of water, but from other logistic issues over the 6-month journey.
Getting through the challenge needed lots of determination, strong resolve not least bloody-mindedness.
