“I am about to swim my last two miles in the ocean. This is a lifelong dream of mine and I’m very very glad to be with you. Some on the team are the most intimate friends of my life and some of you I’ve just met. But I’ll tell you something, you’re a special group. You pulled through; you are pros and have a great heart. So let’s get going so we can have a whopping party.

“Thank you, all of you, thank you for your generosity.”

She has also reportedly removed the special jellyfish suit and started primping a bit as she worries about how she’ll look under the spotlight.
