And went from swimming one lap -- so 20 yards -- like a drowning monkey, at about 200 beats per minute heart rate -- I measured it -- to going to Montauk on Long Island, close to where I grew up, and jumping into the ocean and swimming one kilometer in open water, getting out and feeling better than when I went in.
Vaig passar de nedar un llarg, no arriba a 20 metres, com un ànec remullat, a unes 200 pulsacions per minut, ho vaig comptar, a nedar de Montauk, a Long Island, prop d'on vaig créixer tirant-me al mar i recorrent un quilòmetre a mar obert, sortir-ne i sentir-me millor que no pas havia entrat.
