A California woman recently made history by completing the punishing swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallones, a treacherous journey through the freezing cold, shark-infested waters - all without a wet-suit.
Amy Gubser visualized herself swimming from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farralon Islands long before she jumped in the San Francisco Bay earlier this month.'My husband and I joked all the time when we're on a hike walking our dogs and we see the Farrlon Islands, I just look at him and I say 'you know I can swim there,' Gubser told CBS News Bay Area's Vern Glenn.
'A stupid thought in your head could derail you from achieving your dreams so I just entertained really silly thoughts to keep myself going,' said Gubser.She thought about the t-shirts that were printed up to celebrate a successful swim and how those would have been a waste if she didn't make it to the finish line.Gubser credited her team with helping her complete the swim, which included passing down food in a bottle every 30 minutes from a nearby boat.
