the marathon swimmer kevin murphy has swum the english channel 34 times.acting as official observerfor times. he was acting as official observer for this times. he was acting as official observerfor this swim times. he was acting as official observer for this swim and says he is astonished by what he has seen. sarah is astonishing to be honest. i have never seen the indomitable spirit overcoming such adversity. she has now been swimming for over 40 hours and yet she has hardly slowed down at all. she has now swung from england to france back to england and is now halfway back across on the fourth leg, it is an incredible swim. the hardest part of that swim is the time and distance she has covered. she has now covered something like 70 miles of swimming nonstop. she has now got ten, 14 miles to go. staying awake as much as anything else, we started this swim on the early hours of sunday morning. it is now a late evening on monday. she will be swimming until the early hours of tuesday morning. simply staying awake, focused, beating all the adversity, that is

let‘s get the very latest and speak to kevin murphy, who has swum the english channel 3a times himself kevin, how is she doing in these last few kilometres? we just wanted to finish. she is in a good condition. she is strong steel, focused, she keeps asking, when i going to get there? are we making progress? we keep trying to reassure her that she is and that she is doing well. she shouts back, i don‘t believe you! but she is getting there. it looks now that we will actually go past the entrance of dover harbour and land in a place called st margaret‘s bay. it has been an absolutely incredible triumph, really. it is history being made as far as endurance sport is concerned. when you do that kind of distance, you are doing it through the night on some occasions, do you lose perspective? do you become a bit disoriented? speaking personally, i used to going to a zone. a zone where an hour would seem like five minutes, it doesn‘t mean anything anymore, nothing means anything. you are not really aware of what‘s going on. to be honest, i don‘t think that sarah is doing that. she is far more

extraordinary, kevin murphy on sarah thomas. now a time for the look of the weather.f england and wales, particularly on sunday, but today it was disappointing, threatening looking skies at times, although there wasn't that much in the way of rain. but there is a fair amount of cloud across england and wales, the odd spot or two of nuisance drizzle as well. the best of the central, northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, just a few scattered showers across the north west for the great glen and the northern isles, accompanied by a brisk north—westerly breeze will stop those showers will ease as we go across the night, even that frontal system is as and we will see temperatures are widely dipping down into single figures, may be low single figures in more rural areas, so single figures in more rural areas, so they could be some early morning mist and fog first then, that will thin and break and it stays fairly quiet throughout tuesday. again, still a noticeable breeze into the far north, and running down through the north sea. thatjust may affect the nort

let's get the very latest and speak to kevin murphy, who has swum the english channel 3a times himself kevin, thanks for being on the programme. she hasn't got far to go now, how is she doing? you said she hasn't got far to go, but you join us hasn't got far to go, but you join us ata hasn't got far to go, but you join us at a crucial moment, because we arejust off us at a crucial moment, because we are just off dover harbour, the entrance where the ferries come in and out is just to our right. but the tide has just now turned and it is starting to sweep us back out again. you might hear a lot of shouting and hollering in the background. they are trying to encourage her to swim faster, push it. after 53 hours in the water. it's amazing what i was going to say, it's absolutely incredible, and for her to face the challenge now at this moment when she is so close to finishing. she must be absolutely exhausted? finishing. she must be absolutely exhausted ? undoubtedly she finishing. she must be absolutely exhausted? undoubtedly she is exhausted, she is beyond exhausted. she is beyond her l

let‘s get the very latest and speak to kevin murphy, who has swum the english channel 3a times himselfer where we hope she will land. six miles doesn‘t seem long but not when you compare it with the fact that she has already swum 78 miles non—stop. you mention their 84 kilometres, it is actually 84 miles in total, as the crow flies, that she has swum but of course she does not swim as the crow flies because the tides take her well off that straight—line course. the tides take her well off that straight-line course. for people who are unfamiliar with the english channel, this is a really busy shipping and boating area, isn‘t it, as well as the tides you mention. and right now it must be pitch black. it is pitch black. and the first night that she started on sunday night it was... i should say saturday night, sorry. early sunday morning, there was a full moon and it was my bright. but we have quite some cloud cover over so no cloud and no moon so it is very black. she is swimming about five or six yards from the boat in which i am sitting at the moment. they are just about to feed her in

let‘s get the very latest and speak to kevin murphy, who has swum the english channel 3a times himselfim now. only five kilometres after having swum, as you say, more than 130. it may be in a straight line but because of the effect of the tide she has covered far more than that. even on this last crossing she covered about 50 miles because of the tide sweeping her one way and then the other. hopefully we will end up in dover in a few hours time. i think we can see what you are talking about because we have a map up on our are talking about because we have a map up on our screen 110w are talking about because we have a map up on our screen now where we can see the incredible curves because of those tides. how is she feeling now? i think shejust because of those tides. how is she feeling now? i think she just wants it over and done with now. she keeps saying, asking if we are getting any closer, nearly there? we shut encouragement her husband says yes, you are doing great. she comes back and says i don‘t believe you. but she is. she is making progress. there was a hiccup a few hours ago

kevin murphy was on the boat as one of the official observers. as inspirational, it really was. she pushed the boundaries of endurance. way, way beyond what the normal limits are. in fact, it could not have been physical. it must have been just have been physical. it must have beenjust a sheer act have been physical. it must have been just a sheer act of will to continue. everything would have hurt. she just ignored continue. everything would have hurt. shejust ignored it. what was even more surprising was the fact that she kept up her pace all the way through. she just didn't flag. there was one period where she started being sick but she got through that and came out the other side and was happy as larry. how much assistance and back—up was she allowed to get from her team? she's not allowed to get assistance as such, inasmuch as nobody is allowed to touch her. as she said in the little clip, they can throw a bottle of high carbohydrate drink at her and she can tread water and take that down. but she can't hold onto anything. she can't get any a
