Nedd Brockmann's incredible run left him shocked at how hard it was, but it was the price he was willing to pay

It's been two weeks since the world was enthralled by the astonishing achievement of Australian Nedd Brockmann. To the surprise of nobody, Brockmann's body is now paying the price for his efforts: "It's Pete Murray, seen better days." "It's the price I was willing to pay," Brockmann said. "Well, a) there's good surgeons," Brockmann said with only the slightest hint of mischievousness in his voice. "You can have 99 people tell you you're great and then one person tell you they can't stand you … and that's the one we're hardwired to listen to," he said.
