The Olympics is certainly inspiring. As a sportsman, watching these elite athletes at the top of their game winning gold for Australia is absolutely amazing and inspiring. The dedication and investment of their time and their bodies into sport is second to none. Having done some long distance swimming myself I know the intense preparation required and personal sacrifice to perform and achieve results. Results definitely don’t come without preparation. As I watch more and more records get broken it just reaffirms my belief that athletes are improving continually, spending more time in preparation and not only getting fit but getting their mind right. Where will it end.
The Australian Olympics machine is also doing us proud.
What really got me thinking was just the excitement, the desire to win and the training for sports events. It got me thinking about swimming, especially my passion, open water swimming and what a great sport that is.
Now where is that Rottnest Swim site again…

Hey Rohan
I can see you are passionate about this, why dont you set a program, start training and get your ass into the next swim. Its only 20km, a short breeze.
Watch out for the sharks, I seen a fair few of them myself and good luck.
