Quote of the Week: Brrrr!


Extreme swimmer Lewis Pugh is featured in the latest issue of Men's Vogue. Last July, Pugh became the first human to swim a kilometer at the North Pole. The water temp was 28 degrees (the coldest water a human has ever swum). The swim took him 18 minutes to complete. Here are two things he had to say:

The quality of my thoughts is so important during these swims. If you start thinking, "shit, I'm cold," within a second it'll be digging into you.

The mind is like an iceberg, 10% conscious, 90% subconscious. If you start working in the subconscious, you can really go. It's what athletes aren't doing.


FYI: The amount of time Pugh spends doing mental training versus physical training is 70/30.

Make it a good week!

    Hey Craig,

    Still listening to your meditation mp3 from Florida.
