THE ATHLETE

To start a life as an athlete is not easy, it's a route full of challenges, effort, tiredness and many other things that surround the world of an athlete. Jennifer Figge is not only  a good mother but also a great athlete, an American athlete from Aspen, Colorado. She has gotten many records during her life, but the most important has been, to cross the Atlantic Ocean, from Africa to Venezuela. She swam the entire distance across the ocean, spending most of the time in a shark cage while she swam. To achieve this, both patience and discipline were important elements in her routine. The weather was extreme, but she was very powerful, neither  the strong winds nor the waves up to 30 feet, could stop her. She wore a t-shirt autographed by friends and family, as a good luck charm, she could see whales, turtles, and dolphins. In an interview Figge said that , it was not only the most extreme adventure but also gratifying experience that she would have had. At her 56 years old, she was hailed the first woman to swim the Atlantic. 🤗
