Martin Strel Swimming the Amazon

I came across this fascinating post written by Tim Ferriss on his blog (which I highly recommend you check out) about the only man to swim the entire Amazon River. 

Last year on April 8th, Slovenian marathon swimmer Martin Strel became the first man to swim the entire length of the Amazon River from headwaters in Peru to the Brazilian port city of Belém: 3,274 miles. It took him 66 days with a support crew of near twenty people following him in a boat for protection.

Read the article on Ferris’ blog site and especially pay attention to his interview with Matin Strel about his eating habits and mental/physical preparation for this amazing project.
