00:00 Listen to this. Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
00:05 Don't you want to be fully awake? Your soul ignited by a purpose? Oh, God. I'm serious. Not again.
00:14 Diana Nyack, world champion marathon swimmer. The swim I want to do is 60 hours. That's Cuba to Florida.
00:24 Absolutely not. No, no, no, no. That's insane, Diana. You tried that when you're 28, and you did not make it when you're 28.
00:30 You're 60. I don't believe in imposed limitations. The only one who gets to decide if I'm through is me.
00:36 Okay, just a little swim.
00:44 It's 100 miles.
00:53 Or 60 hours of constant swimming.
00:56 But what I'm most afraid of is sharks and men of war.
01:02 I just know I can do it, and I couldn't do it without you.
01:06 All right, okay.
01:08 What you want to do has never been done. I'm especially not for a woman. Especially not for someone your age.
01:20 Everybody's got a limit.
01:22 Get her out!
01:25 You gotta breathe. Diana, breathe.
01:28 Four tries and four failures.
01:32 You really don't get it, do you?
01:34 You don't even think of me. Of course I think about you. I watched you die.
01:38 But this isn't about you, okay? This is about me for once.
01:45 Imagine knowing you could do something that no one else could do.
01:49 I think we have a window.
01:52 Diana Naya is back.
01:55 I know the world wants me to shut my mouth and sit down and wait to die, but I can't.
02:03 You are a force.
02:09 Diana! You got this!
02:12 You got this!
02:14 There's no one more Naya than you.
02:18 Everybody's got a limit.
02:21 Everybody's got a limit.
