Help me reach my goal of $1,500

My Challenge is to Swim 100 50m laps a day/ or 1000 laps over 10 days- 50km swim total EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

I haven't swam much over the past 8 years and the most amount of laps that I ever did in a row was 100, so this’ll be pushing the boundaries of what I know is possible for myself... LFG!

- $100 donation to 'We Are Mobilise' pays for a week worth of food for a single mother. 

- $1000 pays for a month accommodation for a single mother. 

Any donation would be very appreciated, every dollar counts :)

I hope some people tune in and watch me suffer,  it's gonna be a lot of fun!

Please help me reach my goal

Day 8:1000 laps

Monday 28th Oct
Got through it! Super happy to be done! Keen to find a new challenge:)

Day 7: 870/1000 laps

Saturday 26th Oct
Gritted out 130 laps today… beginning and end is always the hardest, the laps in between I feel like I’m in a flow state and it’s pretty dope. The hardest part is blocking out the head noise that’s telling me to stop, that’s the battle.

Days 4-6: 740/1000 laps

Friday 25th Oct
Day 4:
Was pretty exhausted today, tried to get to the pool but it closed before I finished work.

Day 5:
Got 70 laps in, definitely feeling uncomfortable, especially while I work

Day 6:
Got 50 laps in, body and mind pretty smashed, should be good to go for 200 laps tomorrow.

Day 3: 620/1000 laps

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Really tried hard to get sub 3 hour marathon, but didn’t hydrate properly and gassed out. The mission continues, sub 3 hours coming soon

Day 2: 420/1000 laps

Monday 21st Oct
Body handled the laps a lot better than yesterday… it’s all about staying calm, if your thinking too much, then your wasting energy and your gonna get gassed - big time improvement- goal is sub 3 hours

Day 1: 220/1000

Sunday 20th Oct
Lot’s of calf cramps and a stitch that slowed me down but got it done!

First few days of training

Wednesday 9th Oct
07/10
- 120 laps (6kms)
- 52.5 seconds a lap

08/10
- 80 laps (4kms)
- 54.75 seconds a lap

09/10
- 100 laps (5kms)
- 58.2 seconds a lap

Surprisingly it’s not very physically hard (so far), mentally though it’s pretty tough.

Please donate if you can afford too, help Ned out, he’s in an unfathomable state of hurt right now, absolutely crazy what he’s doing!
