My digest is a collection of inspirational and instructional resources I find interesting and wish to share, including my latest content. To save you time, I pen a quick preview & highlight the key parts to check out.

August greetings everyone! I created a very different challenge for you this month — to scale back your digital time. I’ve also shared a quick stress-handling checklist article and a set of inspiring stories from pioneering athletes.

Just skim the list quickly, maybe even keep a bullet-list copy handy. 2 & 6 resonated with me currently (write it down and connection), but all have a valuable place when we are hit with the stress hammer.

The First Woman to Brave the English Channel

This is one of many inspiring stories in the BADASS WOMEN CHRONICLES from Outside Online. These athletes accomplished incredible feats, such as Gertrude Ederle’s record-shattering English Channel swim in 1926 and Lucy Walker’s 1871 summit of the Matterhorn. Skip reading the news and Facebook today and read these stories – the inspiration is worth it!

Personal Update

My next big challenge is to swim Switzerland’s Walensee lengthwise. This 15km swim in a beautiful lake is situated right at the base of the Churfirsten, which happens to be the range Jeb Corliss flew off of in this epic wingsuit video from 2011.

Weather-permitting, I’ll make this swim on August 14th with a small group of like-minded water adventurers. This usually quite cold lake is fairly warm given the heat wave in Europe, so I’m still not sure about wetsuit or not. Either way, it’ll be a long day in the water and a great summer adventure!

I hope you join the August Digital Detox, even if quietly on your own without mentioning it. Have a great August!
