Olympic swimmer Maarten van der Weijden did not wait for ice for the Elfstedentocht. He took the Journey of Tours by swimming this year, to raise money for cancer research.
200 kilometers in three days, with only half an hour of sleep in between.
A brief summary of the facts: the Elfstedentocht is approximately 200 kilometers long, and Maarten swims around 4 kilometers per hour. That means he takes 50 hours over the distance. He has three days and two nights for it. Along the way he eats and drinks, and also sleeps in the water on an air mattress.
