Why this challenge is uncomfortable to me…

500m Swim 🏊‍♂️ + 3 minute Morning Ice Bath 🧊 + 50 Pull-ups 💪 10-DAYS IN A ROW

My challenge is uncomfortable for a variety of reasons, but the swimming in particular is a huge personal hurdle. I’ve always been a shocking swimmer, anyone that’s seen me in the water is well aware of this and it’s something I’ve always had a bit of anxiety about. During primary school swimming lessons (when I didn’t pull a sickie) I needed a wetsuit because I got so cold and scared, and I’ve never heard the end of it. So I’ll be swimming at least 500m per day for the 10 day challenge (no wetsuit)

Another kryptonite of mine is an appalling tolerance to the cold, which my fat deprived frame has always struggled with. To make these 10 days a little less comfortable I’ll be doing a 3-minute ice bath every morning.

And for the cherry on top, I’ll also be doing at least 50 pull-ups every day to really send me deep into the pain cave. This one has no personal connection to me, it’s just bloody hard, and that’s what this challenge is all about.

After following Nedd’s journey and falling in love with his mission, I knew that if I ever had the chance to hop on board and join in with any of the legends wild campaigns to support this great cause I wouldn’t hesitate. My team's goal is $5000 and I can promise that I’ll be pushing myself to the absolute limit for the 10 days, to venture as far out of my comfort come as possible.
