Summary
Ultra-endurance athlete Catherine Breed has accomplished many physical feats — including a record-breaking swim across Lake Tahoe—but her latest challenge may be her most audacious. Beginning in July, she’ll spend several months swimming the entire coastline of California. The 900-mile journey will begin at the top of California, and Breed will swim to the California-Mexico border. She joins us to talk about how she’s preparing to avoid sharks and fatigue to conquer the currents of the Pacific Ocean. Guests: Catherine Breed, ultra-endurance athlete and swimmer; president and founder, Sea Dreamers Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
