For if I had gone on, I might have finished the whole swim in less than 10 hours and 15 minutes creating a new world record from both sides ____ After the feed I really got my teeth into the strokes ___ I was squeezing my body for the last drop of energy I could get out of it ___ and edged on inch by inch.
