Twenty-nine-year-old Micha Burden wasn't the fastest swimmer when she was in college. She didn't have the most powerful?or graceful?strokes either. But she had always dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer. So when she was two years out of school (and out of shape) and heard about a grueling ocean marathon called open water swimming, she not only wanted to compete at the highest level, she wanted to win.
"I showed up for my workouts and got my butt kicked every day," she says. But she didn't give up, despite the fact that even Kenneth Baum, the sports performance consultant she had hired, pointed out how difficult it would be for her to reach her ambitious goal. "Her times were so slow; she was far off the national mark," admits Baum, author of The Mental Edge, who nonetheless stuck by his client. "At one point I was thinking, You're kidding?this isn't going to happen. And then she blew everybody's mind."
