I was in hospital for about three or four nights I think not very long at all. The"},{"startTime":144.86,"endTime":152.699,"body":"nurses and everyone was absolutely amazing that it's often extremely well and then at Christmas time"},{"startTime":152.699,"endTime":159.74,"body":"we went camping and then I was camping. I got the phone call to say that I needed chemo and I chose"},{"startTime":159.74,"endTime":164.939,"body":"to do chemo via tablets because at the time our children were only seven or nine I didn't want"},{"startTime":164.939,"endTime":169.659,"body":"them to find out because they're only little we've gotten it was my husband and I about the"},{"startTime":169.659,"endTime":174.06,"body":"English we've got no family here at all so I didn't want them to find out so I told the children"},{"startTime":174.06,"endTime":180.139,"body":"that I had a disease and I needed treatment but that's all they knew. I went chemo for six months"},{"startTime":180.139,"endTime":186.46,"body":"I had the tablet form you do two weeks on and then you do a week off so that's like every"},{"startTime":186.46,"endTime":192.699,"body":"yeah every that cycle every three weeks for six months. That's pretty brutal. Yeah the chemo"},{"startTime":192.699,"endTime":197.34,"body":"isn't fun you feel pretty I think for like one week you feel really good they want you to back"},{"startTime":197.34,"endTime":201.659,"body":"into chemo chemo starts to set in your system you start to feel more more tired and then you're"},{"startTime":201.659,"endTime":207.099,"body":"like a week it's just awful so take the kids to school and I'll just sleep all day and then wake"},{"startTime":207.099,"endTime":212.139,"body":"up and pick them up from school so yeah it was quite full on if you take the tablets six in the morning"},{"startTime":212.139,"endTime":217.419,"body":"and then again at six at night like half an hour before food and things like that um so yeah it wasn't"},{"startTime":217.419,"endTime":222.46,"body":"fun um obviously I don't I wanted to make sure the cancer was completely gone and then you have"},{"startTime":222.46,"endTime":229.099,"body":"like another conoscopy and CT scan and it was all clear um so yes every um every every year I was"},{"startTime":229.099,"endTime":235.659,"body":"having um checkups and then I had my five year checkup and um thankfully yeah there's no cancers"},{"startTime":235.659,"endTime":243.9,"body":"come back which is really good that's wonderful so how did they lead into swimming um they always say"},{"startTime":243.9,"endTime":250.78,"body":"to do exercise is really good for your body and I figured that um yeah if I just kept doing exercise"},{"startTime":250.78,"endTime":256.379,"body":"keep my body the chemo was bad it wasn't as bad-mitted it's because I had a healthy lifestyle"},{"startTime":256.379,"endTime":261.819,"body":"so I figured if I just keep healthy um there's got less chance that cancer coming back it's a"},{"startTime":261.819,"endTime":268.54,"body":"5% chance which is really really tiny bit coming back um but if I keep myself healthy sort of yeah"},{"startTime":268.54,"endTime":274.779,"body":"drink lots of water eat healthy have a healthy lifestyle um yeah look after a mental health and"},{"startTime":274.779,"endTime":280.699,"body":"then surely it's gonna hopefully it doesn't come back so yeah but from there I started um to do"},{"startTime":280.699,"endTime":286.459,"body":"more swimming and to a few ocean races and then I really enjoyed the ocean swimming side and then"},{"startTime":286.54,"endTime":293.74,"body":"I looked into groups around Auckland and I found um the fair seals so you just use that as as part"},{"startTime":293.74,"endTime":299.66,"body":"of the sort of recovery after you sorted out the cancer right yeah I just wanted to get fit again"},{"startTime":299.66,"endTime":305.66,"body":"and then um it's quite such a low impact sport and I knew I loved it um and then I'll just"},{"startTime":305.66,"endTime":310.699,"body":"get again swimming in the pool enter a couple of ocean swim races again um and then um"},{"startTime":310.699,"endTime":316.06,"body":"I used to swim with a very very good friend uh he's also English and she got cancer unfortunately"},{"startTime":316.06,"endTime":322.22,"body":"passed away so then I'd no one to swim with and then I went on to the as you do on Facebook and"},{"startTime":322.22,"endTime":329.019,"body":"then I saw the fair seals and messaged them and then I met Roger fed in love and then that's yeah"},{"startTime":329.019,"endTime":333.5,"body":"and then I found out all these swim events so I did a lot more once I met the fair seals"},{"startTime":334.06,"endTime":338.06,"body":"oh that's that's correct it's got a lot of little stories of all these women"},{"startTime":338.459,"endTime":342.22,"body":"we're full enough with you yeah so are you gulfing number two or three because obviously"},{"startTime":342.22,"endTime":348.22,"body":"yeah obviously yeah yeah obviously um yeah no there's lots of us we all love Roger"},{"startTime":349.5,"endTime":353.819,"body":"if I was a woman the only thing that would put me off Roger is the size of his arbors you know"},{"startTime":353.819,"endTime":362.939,"body":"I think that's the problem yeah sort those arbors I did okay so um so prior to again we'll ask"},{"startTime":363.019,"endTime":369.1,"body":"stupid questions right if if they're not appropriate just shut but um I'm assuming you were in"},{"startTime":369.1,"endTime":374.699,"body":"cruise mode with laugh um the cancer made you look at things a little bit differently totally"},{"startTime":374.699,"endTime":379.019,"body":"and and swimming was like hey let me get out there and then look after my health a little bit better"},{"startTime":379.019,"endTime":384.699,"body":"and and I guess just trust some new stuff right I'm hoping that's what the story was yeah I think"},{"startTime":384.699,"endTime":390.06,"body":"when you get um when you get sick like chemo and silicone chemo for six months that's not fun"},{"startTime":390.139,"endTime":395.579,"body":"as you just like body just so tired just for war for every day yes and I think he kind of um it's"},{"startTime":395.579,"endTime":401.259,"body":"not like a second you get a second chance so actually my body is pretty cool the organs my organs"},{"startTime":401.259,"endTime":406.86,"body":"all my body is functioning so well now I've got to definitely look after it um yeah as I"},{"startTime":406.86,"endTime":411.18,"body":"get back into swimming I think once you join a swimming group a community it does encourage you"},{"startTime":411.18,"endTime":414.939,"body":"to go more because like we always say is the only swim for an hour be good for coffee for like two"},{"startTime":414.939,"endTime":421.819,"body":"hours and it's all that's chat of the boy and the joking and like I will laugh in so much a coffee"},{"startTime":421.819,"endTime":428.22,"body":"after swimming today and it's just so much fun yeah yeah we we had I I always say that most

this"},{"startTime":478.459,"endTime":484.22,"body":"few of us um yeah at six a.m a couple of times a week to go in in the dark because you're so scared"},{"startTime":484.939,"endTime":488.139,"body":"and you're breathing obviously the water's colder and you're breathing so you've got to sort of"},{"startTime":488.139,"endTime":493.5,"body":"calm yourself down and that got me used to so I've done that for a few inches now and now I

get into the water"},{"startTime":615.419,"endTime":621.019,"body":"especially if it's a bit cool and then having a yarn while I'm swimming is not my favourite thing"},{"startTime":621.019,"endTime":626.7,"body":"I just want to keep moving so I often feel that I'm the anti-social kind of grump"},{"startTime":627.019,"endTime":632.139,"body":"in the group but once I'm out and I've got a cup of coffee in my hand then I'll move here yeah"},{"startTime":633.419,"endTime":640.46,"body":"Jim and I used to go once a week pre sunrise I was about two years ago

how"},{"startTime":647.5,"endTime":655.58,"body":"when he's in the water right so that's putting into kind of roughly like an injured bat"},{"startTime":657.259,"endTime":664.7,"body":"and I'll normally just sort of tuck in on the side of him and start off him"},{"startTime":665.899,"endTime":671.98,"body":"and then I almost start with with laughter and choking water the one day because as I come up to"},{"startTime":671.98,"endTime":678.62,"body":"breathe this fish came flying like the water and hit Jim's face with these toe floats you know"},{"startTime":678.62,"endTime":683.419,"body":"because those fish are definitely attracted to the to the light of the toe float but he just"},{"startTime":683.419,"endTime":690.539,"body":"took

too"},{"startTime":2516.619,"endTime":2522.78,"body":"much I think that you only really get sharks if the water's salty so I think they shot all"},{"startTime":2522.78,"endTime":2528.78,"body":"around us all the time and we are just blissfully unaware of them so what makes dusky amazing is"},{"startTime":2528.78,"endTime":2533.98,"body":"because it's all fresh water it's all like it's like a tea color turn color at the top oh yeah"},{"startTime":2533.98,"endTime":2538.38,"body":"so when you get near the sea get near to see the water gets clearer so there you can't see anything"},{"startTime":2538.38,"endTime":2543.42,"body":"either so it gets colder by the waterfalls that's pretty fun yeah yeah yeah um you can't see much"},{"startTime":2543.42,"endTime":2547.579,"body":"in like all the fjords until you start swimming out to the silver boat like guys near at the sea"},{"startTime":2547.579,"endTime":2550.38,"body":"then either water is clearly because I see the fish and obviously there's more life"},{"startTime":2551.26,"endTime":2557.26,"body":"and must see

run"},{"startTime":2578.139,"endTime":2584.059,"body":"off or something but literally that meter that you're talking about in this damn was was red"},{"startTime":2584.86,"endTime":2589.019,"body":"and that was a difference because you know you're looking at everybody you know almost"},{"startTime":2589.019,"endTime":2596.139,"body":"your

swam in like my now we want and the so the the five hundred meters sort of closest to"},{"startTime":2632.78,"endTime":2639.42,"body":"shore is considered dangerous because of the hippies and crocodile so depends on which lake we're"},{"startTime":2639.42,"endTime":2646.619,"body":"talking about right yeah I'm sure there would be some so yes but New Zealand's pretty sure yeah"},{"startTime":2647.5,"endTime":2653.019,"body":"okay so what's what's on the bucket list um I'd yeah so I think just try and go longer for"},{"startTime":2653.019,"endTime":2659.099,"body":"ice to me an extreme ice one yeah so we're talking up two k's as as a goal yeah probably yes"},{"startTime":2659.099,"endTime":2664.3,"body":"probably and then yeah to get just improved my running for travel ones um okay we're not"},{"startTime":2664.3,"endTime":2670.139,"body":"interested in you know otherwise I think it'd be the two K that would be that would be such a"},{"startTime":2670.139,"endTime":2673.42,"body":"such a cool thing to do but I think there'd be more of us doing it next time those and I think"},{"startTime":2673.42,"endTime":2678.3,"body":"it'd be quite few of us wanting to do that now yeah yeah yeah so there's not so many people with"},{"startTime":2678.3,"endTime":2684.3,"body":"a mile under their belts and then it's kind of the what next yeah that's something that'd be good"},{"startTime":2684.3,"endTime":2692.3,"body":"yeah so I think we've got a cater for quite a few miles just the miles are you know

three"},{"startTime":2699.579,"endTime":2707.739,"body":"no it was more than that um we had six six extremes I think so yeah okay so yeah probably that"},{"startTime":2707.739,"endTime":2714.219,"body":"again or another two or so on top of that because that's when the safety becomes even trickier"},{"startTime":2714.219,"endTime":2721.9,"body":"right the further and the longer in the water the the more the safety yeah yeah it does get a"},{"startTime":2721.9,"endTime":2728.699,"body":"bit stressful I was you know that swim with Brent I was yeah I I was shattered afterwards I
