Saturday morning it was time for my Capri - Napoli marathon swim.

My crew 2016

The competiors

We were 12 solo swimmers, 2 women and 9 men and some relay teams.

There were just one solo swimmer who manage to swim the 36k and to get a time and that was Davide Freschet he did 10h 02min 11 sec .

I swam for 10h and had around 5k left.

After 3 hours I become very thirsty so I had to take extra water. But I couldn't empty myself in anyway. So after 9 hours I just have to drink a lot of water very fast so I would be able to throw up and feel better after it. I swam for 10 hours around 31k so if i train a little bit harder I might be able fo finish the swim in time next year. But I have not decided yet. Maybe maybe......
