Holding the rope in dark water — Day 20, the hardest day, Think Fast

Day 20 — 24th March 2026

Still around 103kg. Feeling disheartened. Thought I’d be at the half stone milestone by now.

Two meals of lamb, potatoes and broth through the day. Then a third meal later.

The feelings were strong today. I jumped off the boat into the water. I thought about letting go of the rope — ice cream, then biscuits. The pull was real.

I held onto the rope. I pulled myself back into the boat.

“You’re gonna have to go through hell, worse than any nightmare you’ve ever dreamed. But when it’s over, I know you’ll be the one standing.”

You know what you gotta do. Do it. Do it.

— Think Fast
