Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports.

"I have three messages," said the breathless Nyad."One is we should never ever give up. Two is you are never too old to chase your dreams. And three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team."

But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?
