Paramedics were summoned,Nike Air Max Cheap Wholesale, and soon he was en route to the hospital. His boat was found near Grand Bahama Island on Deadman's Reef, the irony of the name not lost on Konrad. He had gone the other way.
"He had two angels on his back," his wife said.
"Five or six hours in I realized, 'Maybe I can do this,'" he said.
His boat was on autopilot and headed east. There were no other boats in sight. Konrad wasn't wearing a life preserver. It was 12:30 p.m.
"We're not really talking about a swimming story. We're talking about a survival story,Cheap Air Max 95 For Sale," Nyad said. "I'm sure his background as an athlete — toughness, having resolve,Nike Air Max 1 Mens Sale, knowing things are going to be painful — were the saving grace for him."
He said he's not much of a swimmer, but Nyad figures his football experience made a big difference.
"I realized I was in some real trouble," he said.
So Konrad decided he'd better keep moving. He took off his shirt and began alternating between a breaststroke and backstroke.
He could also see lights along the coast and pick out landmarks. As he tired, he gained emotional strength.
"There was a lot of stuff glowing at night, probably some jellyfish," he said.
Konrad quickly decided to swim toward shore, although he figured the trip would take more than 10 hours, and feared succumbing to hypothermia or cramps after two or three hours. The ocean temperature was in the low 70s — far from frigid, but a lot colder than his body temperature.
They were hard to believe, he and his wife agreed.
"It's an incredible story," Nyad said. "Taking his life in his hands and deciding he was going to save himself, I admire him."
He swam to Palm Beach, covering a distance of 27 miles before ringing the doorbell of an oceanfront home for help at 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
Konrad said he got bit "by a whole bunch of stuff." A shark circled before moved along.
"I shouldn't be here," he said later, his voice cracking.
Then the sound of the ocean changed. He could hear waves hitting the shore, and finally he reached land as well.
Rob Konrad sipped from a bottle of water, his efforts to rehydrate ongoing four days after the episode. His wife sat at his side rubbing his leg in support, and tears welled in their eyes as he spoke Monday.

The 38-year-old Konrad's escape was a testament to willpower and world-class athleticism,Cheap Mens Jordan Sneakers. The first reports of his adventure last week received worldwide attention.
"Happy to be here," he began with a wry smile.
The U.S. Coast Guard last week provided a brief summary of the events. Konrad, still weak after several days in the hospital for treatment of hypothermia and dehydration, held a news conference to fill in the details.
Twice he was nearly rescued. A recreational fishing boat approached to within 50 yards, but Konrad couldn't flag it down. Then a Coast Guard helicopter searching for him flew overhead.
"A boater's nightmare,Cheap Adidas Sneakers Online," he said.
Her husband said he was taking his boat for servicing last Wednesday and decided to do a little fishing along the way. He had caught a large fish and was tending to the rod when a large wave hit, flipping Konrad into the ocean.
"It was a miracle he made it home," Tammy Konrad said.
Konrad, who played for the Miami Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, had been around boats since his childhood on Boston's North Shore. So he knew what it meant when he fell off his 31-foot Grady-White while fishing alone nine miles from land.
But the ex-Dolphin kept swimming, thinking of his daughters, ages 8 and 10.
PLANTATION, Fla. (AP) — The former NFL fullback entered the room with a wobble in his walk, and needed assistance climbing a podium so he could face a media throng and discuss his death-defying 16-hour swim to shore.
"The problem was I couldn't walk. My body was shaking uncontrollably. I crawled up on the beach and warmed myself up enough to be able to walk."
"They had their lights on me and kept going. They didn't see me,Air Max 97 Silver Bullet For Sale. That was a difficult time."
"I was probably pretty delirious at the time, but I could see the lights getting closer and closer," he said.
Even endurance swimmer Diana Nyad was impressed.
