Was there a swim that was incredibly memorable or scary or a climb?

The first and most scary moment that comes to mind is the second to last swim was the Molokai swim.

I swam from Molokai to Oahu in Hawaii.

That is the longest of the ocean's seven swims.

It's about 30 miles.

I had always thought that the North Channel was going to be the most difficult swim.

That one's between Ireland and Scotland.

When we talked to Rob, he had just finished his seventh crossing just a few weeks earlier, and it was all very fresh in his mind.

What might have been the darkest moment after you had started the swim that made you think that, "Wait a second, I have started this swim a second time now, and this is the final swim"?

Yeah.

I don't know that I would call it super dark because I think to do these swims, you have to stay in a relatively positive mindset.

Now, you're gonna have roller coasters, and I... every swim is a roller coaster.

All the climbs, roller coasters in one sense or another as well, and you're always gonna have down moments.

I think back to my Ironman days, I think that they say somewhere between four and six hours, generally speaking, when you're doing these events, you're gonna have a lull.

You're gonna not feel good, whether it's just mentally or something that's going on in your body, and you're gonna have those, those kind of feelings, and I just have to work through those a little bit.

Can you tell us what happened, and what was the aftermath?
