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. Every buck can be life changing to a person in need so please join me if you can in supporting the legends at We Are Mobilise 🚀

DAY 5 HALFWAY!!
Friday 25th OctShare@jamisonborg HALFWAY BABY 🚀 Apologies I had to screen record this because insta was being weird Was extra cold this morning for absolutely no reason. The head dunk was a terrible idea but I’m trying to keep things interesting, and of course progressively more uncomfortable. With this undoubtedly comes more intense spooking and whining in the early hours of the morning (apologies to neighbours and my family) But I hope you’re enjoying the suffering. 5 down 5 to go. I’ll make sure each day is more of a punish than the last, for your entertainment, and more importantly to support those spending countless nights hungry, cold, and uncomfortable. Huge thankyou to all the recent donors, I really do appreciate the support and it makes it much easier to slip on the speedo’s each morning ❤️ If I made you giggle today, visit my fundraising page to show your support 🚀 https://www.neddsuncomfortablechallenge.com/fundraisers/JamisonBorg/personal-challenge @Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge #neddsuncomfortablechallenge #uncomfortable #icebath #challenge #cold #swim #pullups #team #aintnorestforthewicked
