If you're in good shape (as an ex-NFL FB would probably be) and the alternative is death, you'd be surprised what the human body is capable of.I don't imagine very many people are prepared to swim nine miles. That must have taken incredible willpower.
You lose sight of land in Florida after about 1 1/2 to 2 miles.He basically swam a mile per hour for 9 straight hours with waves and the current in the ocean. If this is true it's an amazing human feat. But something about it is fishy.
First of all, 9 miles out in FL, you don't see land. I've been out there on fishing trips and because FL is flat, you lose sight of land pretty quick. He would have to have a compass with him or just guess to go in the right direction in the outset of his swim.
Secondly, swimming 9 miles in 9 hours in the pool would be incredible for a trained swimmer, doing so in the ocean, which is far more difficult, for a non-trained swimmer sounds too good to be true.
Again, if this is all legit, then it is an incredible human feat.

WPBF reported that Rob Konrad ...was attempting to land a catch when he fell out of his 36-foot vessel. ...[T]he boat was set on autopilot and drifted away from Konrad as he tried to get back on board.
This is crazy: there was a boat out there chugging along on autopilot.
Dibs.
You'll be happy to know that Felger agrees with you and assures us that he's lying and something crooked was going on, probably PED related.He basically swam a mile per hour for 9 straight hours with waves and the current in the ocean.

To put it in perspective, in an Iron Man triathlon, you bike 212 miles, run a marathon and swim 2.4 miles. He basically swam 4x the iron man distance. It is freaking crazy!

It's a 112 mile bike not 212 just for the record.
