For Diana’s Birthday, I Resurrected The Blog She Said She Didn’t Have

“One thing I wish I had done earlier, and regret not doing — I didn’t dive into the marathon swimming world, I didn’t write blogs or get on the websites of various organizations.”

— Diana Nyad, Time Magazine, “The Deeper Story Behind Netflix’s Nyad,” November 4, 2023

Diana often talks about living life without regrets. So it’s odd that she told Time Magazine she regrets not keeping a blog. She has plenty of things to regret, but that’s not one of them. Between 2010 and 2016, Nyad and her supporters uploaded over 500 posts to what she called “Diana’s Blog.” Many of her posts remained accessible via diananyad.com through most of 2023. Then, on September 1, 2023, the day Nyad premiered, her website redesign went live — absent a “blog” link for the first time in 13 years.

Unfortunately, some things do disappear from the internet forever. But thanks to the Internet Archive, I was able to salvage about 500 of the blog’s 526 entries. I posted them all here:
