This video about Lynne Cox amazed me. For her to be able to try and swim a mile to Antarctica in freezing temperatures that kills is beyond me.
Cox was trying to make a record that no one had made before. I liked her ambition and how brave she was willing to be.
It really surprised me when I heard she had been swimming in these temperatures since she was a little girl. Cox has blubber as she likes to call it and that is what helps her get through the pain.
When Scott Pelley asked Lynne if he could talk about her body and then how much she weighed, he asked in a very polite manner. I thought that was a great way to ease into it.
I cannot believe someone would be brave enough and have the mental ability that Lynne had to be able to do what she did.
