Man Swims Amazon River

52-year-old Slovenian Martin Strel successfully completed a swim down the Amazon River. It took him only 9-weeks. He averaged 50 miles a day. That's 3,272 miles.

What?! You figure a fast Ironman swimmer can cover 2.4 miles in an hour or so. If he swam that pace for his entire journey, that would mean he was swimming 21 hours a day. Nuts. It's like swimming from Miami to Seattle.
