It's been well-documented with gold Olympic medalists, world champions that once you've been at their time.

You've experienced that huge euphoria, that amazing feeling of well-being.

There's only one way to go and that's down.

Eddie, what would you say is stronger in you, your mental strength or your physical strength?

It's a hard question.

I would say my mental strength is probably more of what I am than my physical.

I think in terms of strength, there are people out there that are as strong and willing to put the bodies on the line.

But mentally, that's where I've got the game changer.

It's been able to swim out to those dark waters and my several hours of swimming back, you keep going.

That's what separates me from the rest, I believe.

Why do you do that?

Why do you push yourself to such limits?

We had COVID, we could all just relax a bit.

Is it a bit sadistic to do that?

It is a little bit.

I think a lot of it stems with feeling avoid.

I think of suffered with mental health anxiety and depression for a lot of my life.

And feeling that void for me is going to the gym and venting and getting that aggression out and walking out with those endorphins and those that feel good factor.

And I think that is addictive in a way.

You thrive to have that feeling all the time so you keep going back and wanting that feeling.

And as opposed for me, it's sort of why if I'm not doing something, if I'm not like got a target, a goal, I on the ball so to say.

That's when I start to really fall down the rabbit hole, the dark, the horrible hole and feel bad.
