After four failed attempts, Diana Nyad emerged onto the shores of Key West, Florida, after completing a 110-mile, fifty-three-hour, record-breaking swim through shark-infested waters from Cuba. Why, at age 64, was she able to achieve what she could not as a young Olympian? She shares her unforgettable journey – physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological –a triumphant tale about facing fears, following a passion, and living life with no regrets. A sports broadcaster filing for NPR, Fox Sports, ABC’s Wide World of Sports, and the New York Times, Nyad is one of our most compelling storytellers.
"Diana Nyad’s accomplishment is arguably the most impressive endurance feat in human history. Almost 4,000 people have successfully climbed Mount Everest ... but Nyad is the only person to achieve this amazing feat." – John Brenkus, ESPN Sport Science
