A sports physiologist once described Lewis Gordon Pugh, the activitist swimmer who has swum miles in Antarctic waters to raise awareness of ecological issues: "There's nothing superior about his physiology. The big difference is that he adapts and copes better - and has an iron will. Once he's in the water, he can suppress any urge to get out."
In fact, Pugh's core body temperature actually warms up by nearly two degrees as he concentrates before a swim.
The mind can control the body. We can overcome our circumstances!
