The same shit everyone else did this week, seriously guys, it’s all the same stuff…

BOM
In 1987 Lynne Cox swam across the Bering Strait from the U.S to Russia in an attempt to help ease Cold War tensions between the two countries. She succeeded in both braving the 36 degree waters, without a wetsuit, and helping bring Reagan and Gorbachev together. However, that was just one of many swims she would do that set records all over the world and has earned her place as the greatest open water swimmer of all time. The next time you think you’re doing something CSAUP, just remember that Lynne swam the Nile River while dodging all sorts of debris, dead animals and numerous large toothed beasts that would love a quick human snack. She swam around the tip of South Africa, hello great white sharks. She was the first to swim in Antartica, again without a wetsuit. This woman is more courageous, strong willed and down right more bad ass than most of us will ever be.
Go out today and do something CSAUP, you never know it might end up not being utterly pointless. Until we meet again in the gloom, Aye!
